Myxo vaccination

All the stuff I read on the vaccinations say that the Myxo vaccination should be given at least 2 weeks AFTER the other one.... I'm pretty sure my vet gave my bunny the other vaccination 1st, and yesterday gave him the myxo one...
does it make a difference? the order in which they are given? i would have thought that as long as the vaccinations are 2 weeks apart, it should be fine...
 
Well generally at my vets they give the Mxy one 1st and then the VHD 2 weeks later. I would have thought either way round would be alright as long as they are at least 2 weeks apart.
 
yes mine do myxi first,
my two are off to vets tonight for their vhd jabs, and I have fingers crossed that there won't be any side affects.
 
fingers crossed for them!
If you happen to chat to the vet, maybe you could ask him if there's a reason why they're supposed to do the vaccinations that way>? I don;t feel comfortable asking my vet as they obviously did not follow the usual procedure, and they might just lie.... I'd really appreciate it!
 
I think the reason vets automatically give the myxi first is because it can be given to rabbit earlier than the VHD....myxi from 6 weeks and VHD from 10 weeks.

Most bunnies are brought at 8 weeks and have their first jabs then so by the time 2 weeks have passed they are old enough for the VHD.

In an adult rabbit or a bun over 10 weeks I dont believe the order of the vaccines matters.
