Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
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.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Myxi is twice yrly....usually march and then oct..Nozzies are more prevailent then but your vet should advise you.The VHD is once yrly...and given 2 weeks after the myxi jab.Not that expensive....

Your vet might suggest that they have the myxo jab every 6 months if you're in a high risk area. I always have mine done every 6 months, as it's a good excuse for a check up as well.
let us know how you get on.

Incidently,there is a SEARCH button along the top...Pop a word in there and it will give you any threads with that particular word in it.Thats quite useful!!
The myxi jab should be given with the needle going into part of the ear,then withdrawn and put into the neck.Its a funny jab but at least given like that its stronger and better in the bunnies system (or something like that anyway!!)
