10.5.2012 Myxomatosis most common fatal pet rabbit disease
From This is Somerset: Annually, the number of pet rabbits stricken with Myxomatosis runs into
thousands, making it the most common, preventable, fatal disease of
pets in the UK. The virus is spread from rabbit to rabbit via mosquitoes or fleas. These insects pick up the virus by biting infected rabbits and then transmit it when they land and feed on a new host. The disease can spread vast distances and also reach rabbits living indoors.
Typical signs include swelling of the skin around the eyes, mouth, ears and genitals, a high fever and lack of appetite. They may have difficulty breathing and have a thick discharge from the eyes and mouth. Without intervention the rabbit will suffer a slow and painful death.

3.5.12 British Film Council puts short Films online
This may not seem to have much of a rabbit theme to it, but there are two films about rabbit:
The Development of the Rabbit (1944, 32 mins)
The Life of the Rabbit (1945, 11 mins)
Both are black and white, and given their vintage present a pragmatic and unsentimental view of the rabbit. If you do decide to watch, be prepared for footage of dissection.
