Can someone help me understand my bunnies health history details please?

[motherofdragons]

I’ve recently had to adopt a family members rabbit because they were unable to look after her anymore, they sent me a picture of a summary type thing the last time she was at the vet and I don’t really understand what some of it means. I read these forums a lot because they have a lot of useful information and hoped someone here could help and might know what it means  It says the following:

History Details: Nobivac Myxo-RHD

Mm pink, crt<2s, chest ok, abdo palp nad, teeth good

Then it just says clipped nails, chip checked. I know the first part means she had her vaccinations (I’m assuming &nbsp But I’m not sure what the rest means, sorry if it’s obvious but I honestly have no clue as I’ve never had a pet rabbit before.

Thanks in advance!

You’re a good person to take in a rabbit in need of rehoming. Good luck with your new pet!

Yes, you’re right. Nobivac Myxo-RHD is a combination vaccine for rabbits. Link here: http://www.rabbitawarenessweek.co.uk/for-vets/vaccinations-for-rabbits/nobivac/

Mm pink: This is most likely “mucous membrane pink” which is healthy for the nose, mouth, and gums.

crt<2s is "Capillary Refill Time less than (<) 2 seconds" meaning she has healthy blood flow. The CRT test in humans is usually to gently pinch a fingertip for few moments and let go. The skin should turn from white to red again quickly and under two seconds is a healthy response. In rabbits this is often done by checking the gums for proper blood flow.

abdo palp nad: Abdominal Palpation No Accute Distress means they felt her belly and she did not express any pain or discomfort and everything felt normal

Chest okay and teeth good are both positive signs, usually they would have listened to her chest for any breathing problems and checked her mouth for tooth spurs, abscesses, or other abnormalities.

It sounds like your new little friend is in good shape! Congratulations and good luck!

Good luck with your new bun!!!

You might want to consider having her vaccinated with the RVHD2-vaccine as well as the RHD-myxo. RVHD2 is a different strain of rabbit viral hemorragic disease.
