swelling of the eyes, mouth and genitals, you will see whitish pus coming from the eyes and white liquid from the rabbit's nose. literally its whole face will just swell and even if it's not a lop rabbit it's ears will flop down because of swelling behind the ears and feverish warm ears his/or hers mouth will swell and possibly it will stop eating. they usually live for a month. try keeping his bottom clean so he doesn't suffer even more from fly strike and clean his moth and nose as much as possible as well as try to keep his eyes clear by: spraying only a drop of water in his eyes each then massage them close and then open the water will help by working as a eye drop for humans the pus in the eye will come out then wipe his eye with a soft cloth to wipe the pus away. do this everyday without fault and make sure he eats that way he can multiply his antibodies to DESTROY the virus. keep him as healthy as possible for as long as possible and his body will become stronger and he'd be able to fight the virus, but keep him from any other rabbits because myxomatosis is HIGHLY contagious.
