Hi i'm taking my bun to get his first myxi jab. I just wanted some advice, like what i should watch out for when the vet administers it. I think i read somewhere they need to administer it a certain way so it gets round the body.

I also want a full health check so i'm going to ask the vet to check his teeth, ears etc but is there anything you would advise me to get specifically checked?

I want to make sure the vet knows what he/she is doing and if he/she doesn't do it right i know it was wrong and can change surgerys or ask for a diff vet next time :)

Thankyou.
 
Make sure that the vet gives 90% under the skin, and then 10% into the skin. They should also reccomend to come back in 2 weeks for a VHD jab, and NOT give them at the same time. I think a good vet will also reccomend to worm the bun too. :)
 
If they've anything about them they will do the health check BEFORE the vaccination.... they should never vaccinate an unhealthy animal (immune system shouldn't be overloaded). Even if your bun looks bright they should make sure before the jab, eg listening to heart etc.

For a first health check on a young bunny I would expect them routinely to look at the teeth. My first bunny had incisors that were misaligned so they were able to tell me she was likely to have dental problems at a later stage.

Hope it all goes well.
 
I was impressed with the vet i saw :) He said he recommended getting the Myxi jab every 6 months and that in 2 weeks he should have his VHD jab. He also did a full health check before he gave him the jab.

He gave me a vaccination card too so i know when i'm due and the dates of his previous jabs.

very happy with it all.

Poor Fiver wasn'ttoo impressed but he was a star the whole way through. He was scared and snuggled right into me afterwards lol.

He is a bit of a wuss :p

Thanx for the advice everybody and i got some panacure. Was wondering how long after the myxi jab i should wait until i worm him.
