My Rabbit's Myxo Side Effects

I have just taken my rabbit Muffin for her 1st ever Myxomatosis jab, and when she got back, she seems really scared of me, hardly drinks any water and doesn't hardly move!
She's still eating, but now is afraid to eat from my hand, it has only been a couple of days since the jab, so I'm hoping it'l wear off, but shes going to have her VHD jab in a couple of weeks and I'm worried she'll react the same way, or even worse, why is she behaving so strangely??? she is usually really friendly and hyperactive.
 
It could be from the stress of being picked up, put in a carrier and taken to the vets: quite stressful for a little bun if you think about it. I would mention it to the vets though just in case it is a side-effect because if so they'll need to report it.
 
yeah, i guess it could be, because we put her in a proper carrier for the first time, she usually goes to the vets in the box she came in........until she weed through it, haha! yes, i will tell the vets, I'm going back there in a couple of weeks, thanks so much for your help! xxx

That's Cylap though right? Lapinject shouldn't have any side affects. Just make sure you ask them (now, so they can order it in) for Lapinject.

As for her being scared of you, just spend lots and lots of time with her. Is she a house bun? Lie on the floor with her, and feed her her favourite treats from your hand. Keep the rest of her diet really boring (just hay and grass, with some bland veg like cucumber and celery) so when you offer her carrot, herbs and other treats she's more tempted. She WILL trust you again, it's just one of those things you have to work through. :)
 
Thank you for the info. I planning to have my bunny vaccinated with VHD. Now I'm aware to ask questions about the side effects of the vaccine.
