Is anyone elses vet now recommending 4 weeks between vaccinations rather than the usual 2 weeks?? Mine are. Just wondering.:)
 
when i took Rory back to the vets after his VHD (he was off colour) my Vet said next year we will wait 4 weeks rather than the 2 we waited, unfortunately Rory passed away less that 24 hours his VHD:cry:

I think 2 weeks is still the standard
 
We are still on the usual 2 weeks unless a bun has a bad reaction and then we wait until they are better before the next injection. It is important that the bunny is healthy prior to the injection.

Hi Kirsty&Lola, so, so sorry about Roryxx Actually mine were done on Monday so I was reading your really sad posts about Rory at the time.
My vet said better to leave it the 4 weeks and I feel better doing that, I must admit.
Take care.

I totally agree, which is why Rory's death was such a shock because he was fit and healthy and showed no side effects to his myxo vaccine

If Rory had pulled through, we would have waited 4 weeks between his boosters. I think it depends on the bun. Lola also had a bad reaction but to Cylap not Lapinject so we will be waiting longer between her boosters just in case
 
I'm still 2 weeks too - just had the new bun done for myxi on Monday, going back in 2 weeks for VHD

Sorry to hear about Rory :cry:
 
The new vet at my place says 4 weeks, but my regular vet says 2.. I got the myxi boosters done early so I'm going to wait 4 weeks - better safe than sorry!
 
mine say at least 2 weeks but the emphasis is heavily on that as a very minimum and they would be happier with a bigger gap.
 
My friend adopted a bun from the RSPCA and they did both myxo and vhd on the same day. I asked her to check with the rspca vet if this was ok cause I've always 2 weeks inbetween due to compromised immune system. The RSPCA vet said it was fine:?
 
I was talking to Anita about the myxo vaccs (regarding bi-annual vaccination and intradermal administration) the other day and she never mentioned that the minimum gap has been increased?

I cant believe some vets are still giving them at the same time :censored:
 
We tell clients 2weeks, It may depend on the drug company that the vaccine is made by?
The rule by vaccine company we use 'Lapinject' is that it cannot be less than 2 weeks.
