kizzy is having her vaccinations next week for myx (you know what i mean LOL) and VHD. Does she really need these if she is to be a house rabbit. The vets insist she does but then they would wouldn't they :roll:

thanks for reading my post :)
 
i would take the vets advice, myxi can be carried in lots of different ways and it is a horrible disease. the myxi and VHD have to be given 10-14 days apart, not on the same day. has your vet advised this???

yes she has.

i have to have one jab then take her for the other two weeks later. :)

thankyou for your reply.
 
thats good, you seem to have a good vet! what breed of rabbit is Kizzy?? you are doing the right thing with regards to the vacs, better to be safe than sorry. my lola had a bad reaction to the VHD which happens sometimes but i will still give her it again because the disease is so much worse than the reaction she had

yes the vets is a good one. Been to them quite a few times with my budgies and my mum has used them for years and years.
kizzts mum is a rex (black velvit coat - gorgeous) and her dad is a blue fluffy thing with floppy ears :lol: . French lop i think.

kizzy isn't lop eared though. Shes like her mum.
 
Yep, Kirsty is right :) Myxi is spread by biting insects so it only takes one mosqito to sneak into your house or for you to bring a flea home from a cat/dog you met and that could be carrying myxi. VHD is spread by contact so you can walk it in on your shoes or carry it on your clothing :(

We're also looking to get our buns done next week..mxi first, then VHD.

First injections and feel a tad guilty HOWEVER, considering the alternative, my guilt soon disappeared into a myriad of responsible parent syndrome :shock:

...that said, with 2 younger kids...the vacinations are nothing new ... doesnt get any easier but I guess, its all for the greater good.

Thereafter, I'll need time to recover from the open wallet surgery the vets round here inflict on bunny owners :lol:

Im kinda new to rabbits tho round these parts they differ from £15ish - £48 for the Mxi jag!! And from £15 to £30ish for the VHD...

I got a quote of £42ish for both jags, PER rabbit from a decent sounding vet who I liked the sound off...therefore, total £84 for me next week with the Mxi jag getting done first, VHD a couple of weeks later

Hi :) Glad you've decided to get the vaccines done. My two are house rabbits and have their VHD once a year and myxi twice a year, better safe than sorry! My vet charges £16 per vaccine, although it was less than that at the start of the year, by the time I get them done again it'll probably be more :roll: :lol: The VHD can be more expensive depending on the brand of vaccine used. I don't know the details, but thats why it can be expensive.
Just wanted to add - rodgerrabbit - your bunny pair looks like a younger version of mine! They are gorgeous :love:

Nice looking buns you have..so, I can expect ours to get even bigger and more mischevious :D :lol:
