Myxi Jab

As most of you know, Jimby has not been very well the past few days with unknowen cause of loss of appitete.
He is booked in to have his Myxi jab next Tuesday but I am nervous as last time he had a bad reaction to it, problem is we are ment to be going away for our 1 year Wedding Anniversary leaving on Friday 18th so do not want to do the jab too close to when we leave as obviously if he is not well I am not going to leave him, which is why we booked it in for 2 weeks before.
What do you think we should do?
 
Who will look after him while you are away? Are they able to recognise any early signs of problems? Do your vet nurses offer bunny boarding could he go there while you are away?

I can imagine how you feel, we nearly booked a holiday at Easter, I'm so glad we didn't as Charlie was very ill and we would have cancelled the ferry :lol::lol::lol:
 
I have BEGGED my best friend and her hubby to stay at ours and bunny sit for us, she is with him a lot of the time so undertands what to look out for, I have also said ANY probelms call me and I will be back straight away!!
I do not want to go and leave him but I guess we can not not ever go away again :lol: I will miss my little man so much, he is my baby! :love:
 
Your vet will assess before vaccinating that Jimby is up to a vaccination. If he is under parr, feverish or unwell in any way it is unlikely he will be vaccinated, as it isn't a good idea to vaccinate a bunny who's immune system is already under stress. However, if Jimby is given a good bill of health i'm sure he will be fine, and i'm sure your friend will keep a close eye on him. Try not to worry.

As for holidays..... what are those?? :roll::lol:
Have a lovely trip away. x
 
I am worried about tomorrow, I really do not want Jimby to become ill after having his jab like he did last time. :cry:
