Well from what i understand they dont go blind asuch but it comes from their eyes becoming so severely infected and swollen that they cant open them. Horrible all the same though 
Not looking good but 5% is better than 0% I guess.

Sorry nix, but they do become blind and their lungs fill up with water.
Eventually they starve to death.
Days 7-9 is when the secondary infection will hit, will you be around then? if you/he/her can get over that then your bunny will be one of the few that survives.

Does your rabbit have a cheeky personality like ours did?
I remember we never let ours go on the chairs as he used to wee on them. He knew it aswell, and if he wanted your attention he used to jump up, tilt his head and stay there until you got up to get him off. As soon as you did he would jump off and go mental D:

The blindness and lungs thing being the symptom that kill most wild bunnies as although they can still eat they become fodder for other animals and roadkill.
If your bunny becomes haunced over and just lies there then get it put down. Better that then to see it living a misery for a few days.

| No i wont be around then, my mum will be looking after him. She is even more caring to animals than i am so i have faith that if anyone can get him through its her.
Atm he is running around on the floor infront of me, quite lively.
I pray to god that doesnt happen to him, although i know its unlikely...
Mum is under strict instruction that he doesnt suffer, i dont want that. As soon as he stops eating and goes down hill we will (me or mum) have to take him to the vets again |

| Fudgey is the friendliest bunny in the whole world and he seems to idolise me, always been a mummys boy. He lays on his back like a baby with me and is always jumping up on the back of the sofa so he can come fall asleep on my shoulder and also licks me. Best bunny ever imo |

Fudgey follows me upstairs all the time, as you said turns and runs as soon as he sees me coming though, so used to it he tackles the stairs with no probs these days

I dont want to say anything that might upset you but myxomatosis really is the coolest word in the world.
Did you know they introduced it in Australia because the rabit population was too high?
