Your vet is talking out of his bum.
I storngly recommend you find a new one who KNOWS rabbits. Vaccinations are basic, God forbid you ever need to take your rabbit to that vet for anything more complex :roll:
If you state your rough location someone near you may be able to recommend a good rabbit vet, or, if your a member of the RWA you can call the helpline and ask for details off the Rabbit Vet Register held by them.
House rabbits risk is of getting myxi and VHD greatly reduced but I'd still get him vaccinated, maybe not every 6 months, but every year as fleas, mites and mozzis carry myxi so they can come inside on your clothes or on any other pets you have that are allowed outdoors.
Your vet doesn't seem too rabbit savvy.
I live in Richmond, surrey.
Does anyone know a good vets round here? I feel terrible for listening to the vet. I've had Barney since June so he should have been done by now then.
Thank you, have done. It's not something you can really ask a vet..."Do you know alot about rabbits?" .....I imagine they'll just say yes!
I am very annoyed with the vet....I have never had rabbits before Barney, so all my info comes from the vet, books and here of course!
