Answer 1

I dont know if it is in scotland but I want to have a rank at the 1st to people who anwered this question!

Not everyone can spell it and I dont know how to so i always write myxi. so stop questioning this persons spelling you both knew what they meant! so why have a dig, just coz you think you know it all.

Answer 2

Myxomatosis.

Yes, it's very common all over Britain. There's a current surge in cases in England at the moment, they're dropping like flies. This is because of the wet and (previously) warm whether increasing the numbers of mozzies. Don't know if that's the case in Scotland at the moment, but it's always necessary to get rabbits vaccinated against it.

Its myxomatosis.

Yes its still about in Scotland, most vets advise that pet rabbits are vaccinated for both VHD (vial haemorragic disease) and myxomatosis, especially if you let your rabbit run free in the garden, its at more risk of picking something up.

Answer 4

Yes, it is...in some areas mre than others. And, as Myxi is transmitted by flies, fleas and midges, domestic bunnies ARE at risk. Your vet or pet shop will know how bad itis in your specific area, and you may want to consider vaccinating your rabbit against this evil, slow killing disease. The first answer has given you the correct spelling of this (even though we shorten it to 'Myxi'! very confusing!)...so you mat want to google it for more info on YOUR area.

Answer 5

If you said myxomatosis, we would know you meant rabbits, don't know if it is rife anywhere, just annoyed when people don't use spell checker for a word so difficult.

Answer 6

yes it is it getting more common it just about died out the rabbits don't go in to burrows anymore they sleep on the surface now so if you want to go hunting them you have to go lamping now that where you shine bright lamps at the rabbit
they will stop and look at the light so you have an easy shot
