Feldar I am sorry to here of your loss

I would almost guarantee that the myxo vaccine you had for you bun was given incorrectly

With the old style single vaccine half was to be administered sub q and the other INTO the skin on the ear. Many vets were unaware of this, also it needed boosting every 6 months.

HOWEVER there is now a new combined vaccine that protects against both myxomatosis and VHD that is administered sub q AND lasts for 12 months.
If you were interested in one of mine, they come already vaccinated so no waiting for the immunity to kick in

No vaccine is 100% and the old style myxo was nowhere near perfect tragically for you bun, but the new one appears to so much better

Thank you Colliewoman i must confess after my boy had to be PTS i vowed not to have another one. We are surrounded by fields of rabbits and i hate to see them suffer. I am going to disinfect this run and do some repairs to it then i will have a think about getting a neutered pair.
I do miss my boy a lot he was such a friendly bunny.

No need to rush into anything, there will always be the right bunnies for you somewhere when you are ready.
People don't always realise how these little creatures find their way into your heart and leave a big bunny shaped hole when they do pass
