  Can rabbits get fowl pox?

  The vast majority of rabbits (over 99%) infected from a wild (Sylvilagus spp.) source of myxoma virus die within 12 days of infection. Transmission can occur via respiratory droplets, but more often via mechanical transmission by arthropods (mosquitoes, fleas, black flies, ticks, lice, mites).

  How high should a fence be to keep rabbits out?

  A 30- to 36-inch-high fence constructed from woven wire with a mesh no larger than 1 inch is recommended for excluding rabbits. The lower end of the wire mesh should be turned outward at a 90-degree angle and buried 6 inches in the ground to discourage rabbits from digging under the fence.

    What happens if you don’t get chicken pox?

    What are the symptoms of fowl pox in chickens?

    As we stated above, fowl pox is a viral infection. It acts similarly to the chicken pox infection that humans can get.

This is the most common symptom, but other signs of fowl pox include decreased appetite, poor egg production, or weight loss.

    Who is at risk for getting chicken pox?

    Risk factors. Your risk of becoming infected with the varicella-zoster virus that causes chickenpox is higher if you haven’t already had chickenpox or if you haven’t had the chickenpox vaccine. It’s especially important for people who work in child care or school settings to be vaccinated.

    Can a Baby get chicken pox from their mother?

    Since passive immunity isn’t present right away, a baby who contracts chickenpox from their mother right around birth may become severely ill. Babies may also contract chickenpox from someone with shingles if they come into direct contact with the fluid that oozes out of the rash blisters. The same virus that causes chickenpox causes shingles.
