Local rabbits and their owners can hop over to Bun Chia Burrow in Long Beach to receive a wellness check and a low-cost vaccine on Aug. 31.
Bun Chia Burrow is a pet boarding, bonding and mobile grooming facility that caters to rabbits and other small pets in Long Beach, Los Angeles and Orange County. This year will mark the second annual vaccine clinic hosted by the business to protect Long Beach bunnies against the Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV-2).
The RHDV-2 virus is fatal for rabbits, and has been spreading through the United States since 2020, according to RHDV-2 vaccine manufacturer Medgen. Bun Chia Burrow has reported six rabbit deaths due to the virus in the last year.
The Aug. 31 clinic will offer wellness exams for $15 and a RHDV-2 vaccine for $35, which Bun Chia Burrow states is only to cover the cost of the vaccine. Rabbits can receive their first-time vaccine or booster updates for the virus.
This clinic is eligible for Nationwide pet insurance reimbursement or coverage. Residents are asked to RSVP to the clinic and make an appointment by emailing info@bunchiaburrow.com. The first 10 rabbits to make an appointment will receive a free nail trimming.
Bun Chia Burrow’s rabbit clinic will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 31. The address for the clinic will be emailed to residents who make an appointment one week prior to the event.
