    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

My rabbit Jeremy is having his first jab tomorrow, is there anything I will need to do to prepare him for it, also will he feel "poorly" after and is there any after care I should be aware of?
 
He should be fine. Is he having Myxo or VHD? I have had no problems at all with any of my buns post vaccination.

some people have reported a limp post VHD, if the CYLAP is given. Mine all had Lapinject
 
You might find that Jeremy isn't 'talking' to you when you get him home again. Mine usually have a bit of a strop when we get home, but they always snap out of it fairly quickly. Jeremy shouldn't have any ill effects, but it's always best to keep a close eye on them for a day or so afterwards.
 
Charlie was fine with myxi jab but a bit off it with the VHD (also had a limp!) He was very soppy and wanted cuddling all the time but was as right as rain the day after. Sure things will be fine.
 
My two buns had their mxyi jab first. Sammy went first and never flinched at all but Leon was terrible he jumped about mad as he doesnt like being held in the one spot but the vet knew how to handle him.
When we got home Sammy was acting normal but Leon hid behind the couch for 20 minutes.


Two weeks later we went for the vhd jab and both of them were really good, no struggling at all.

I found the car journey (15 minutes) put them into a transe. Its as if all animals know when your taking them to the vet.
 
If its the myxi make sure your vet administers it correctly by injecting 10% intradermally (just under the skin) either in the scruff or by the base of the ear with the remainder being injected right into the scruff.
