Myxi jab side effects?

Hey,

My bunny Cassini, 3 months old, had her myxi jab last week. Last night I felt a lump under her skin. I'm not 100% sure but I think it may be where the injection was given.

It is a little smaller than a smartie and pink to look at, but doesn't seem to bother her. Its quite hard and doesn't seem pussy, but I guess you can't tell whats under there just by prodding at it. Just wondering if its normal or if I should be worried?

Shes going back for VHD next weds.

She is very bright and normal otherwise.
 
A local skin reaction can occur and should resolve without a problem

This is copied from the vaccine data information sheet:

'Following vaccination a small (≤ 3.5 mm) circumscribed and transient swelling may develop at the site of injection approximately 1 week post vaccination and disappear by approximately 25 days.'
 
Thanks - thats great. Vet didn't mention it so thought I'd better check. I'll keep an eye in her but you've put my mind at rest - v.gratefull!!
