Rabbit Disease
Now, humans aren't the only mammals in the state battling a deadly disease right now - something called Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease, also known as RHD, has been affecting the local rabbit population. Over the past few months, it’s been found in wild rabbits all over Southern California, from Los Angeles County's Antelope Valley to San Gabriel Mountains, down in Orange and out east in San Bernardino Counties. We discuss the impact RHD is having on the state’s wildlife — as well as domesticated pets.
