hi everyone,
its been about 2 weeks scince miffy had his myxi injection, the vet did some of the injection just at the base of his ear. I was having a little stroke of him and i felt like a scaby lump. He dosnt seem to be pain when i touch it, so im just guessing that its a little scab? but shoudnt it have fallen off by now? :?
 
It depends on his healing rate; plus he might have scratched the original scab off, causing another one to form.


If you're worried give your vet a ring :wave:

That's good to hear; I was picturing a massive lump :lol:
 
:wave:
im going to keep an eye on him, he seems happy enough and i know he keeps scratching behind that ear, so maybe he has got the other scab off.
 
lump after jab

My Belgian Hare Bracken has a large lump after being vaccinated for myxi. We took him back to the vets who gave him metacam and advised we have to syringe him twice a day for the next week - only problem is that Bracken hates the stuff and gets far too stressed for us to force him! My concern is that he is booked in for neutering and his vhd jab next week...but I worry that he will then come up in another lump after the next injection! The vet said that his lump could be an abcess as it is very hard and has a scab on it, and they are going to take a look next week under anasthesia if it hasn't gone down. anyone had similar problem?
 
They quite often get a scab after jabs. They tend to come up a few days/week after and take awhile to heal :(
