You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

This is very ineresting, what is this?This was the first time ever I've been asked if my buns have had any vaccine-related reaction to VHD. Fortunately, my vet has now swapped to Lapinject so I'm not expecting a bad reaction but at least they seem to be well aware of the Cylap problems now.
This is very ineresting, what is this?
Fort Dodge paid for all of the treatment for mine without asking to see photos (over £200 worth of antibiotics, cream and examinations) so I am very interested to see where they will go with this.
I will never be using Cylap again and will insist on Lapinject in September.
Hi one of my rabbits got vaccinated against VHD on the 21st of april. However on the following friday she was spayed and required several days of gut stimulant and painkiller injections. I hadnt noticed anything until today when she flinched when i was petting her she has an area around the size of 50p piece on her back which has a big scab on it and no fur. I may try get a photo of it to see what you guys think. Will she need some treatment for this? it doesnt look to be oozing anything but i will have to check it again. I would appreciate any help as driving her to the vet completely stresses her, i dont want to do it unless it is necessary:?.
Thanks
Hey guys I took Widget to get his VHD jab today and the vet used Cylap. She said that very few buns had bad reactions to it. That was about 5 hours ago, as he doesnt seem to be having any real side effects, I mean he isnt being as sociable as normal, but he is still laying near me in his usual spot, hasnt gone and hidden away in his hutch or anything and has flopped a few times (which I still find hilarious) and isnt off his food or water.
Do most buns have side effects from this? When do they normally kick in? I'm quite worried already.
Thankyou.xx
