Ive just called a vet in my area to ask for prices on spaying, myxi and VHD...all seem reasonable prices, but the vet told me VHD has recently gone to every 3 years, no longer yearly???? Not sure if i trust this.

She said a rep came in the other day to go through various procedures and said they have change the need for VHD to 3 yearly!
 
Fort Dodge Animal Health have confirmed it's still a yearly booster for Cylap.

Don't know about lapinject.
 
Took 2 of my girls for their VHD last Friday at the Pet Vaccination Clinic and they have put the next one due in 12 months!
 
Seems weird for a rep to suggest every 3 years, you would think they would want it done annually so they sold more vaccine :?
 
Which vet was it Michelle? (I assume it's ok to name them :?) It'll be one to put on my avoid list I think. The last I heard, my vet in Grays still says yearly.
 
I would like to know which company the rep was from and also see the research on this, strength of titres, etc. My dogs get a rabies vaccine that is effective for 3 years.
 
yep still yearly. I need to take mine in soon for theirs. all 4 have their VHD at different times which is a right pain!
 
I'm sticking with yearly because my Gran encourages birds into the garden, nothing wrong with that and I like the birdies but my rabbits arn't worth the risk.
