VHD Questions?

I asked my vet about VHD and they only use Cylap and I have heard this isn't as good?

So... which type of VHD vaccination should I ask for? Also, what is this all about with the different doses? Does it mean you have to keep going back for more injections in the same day? I'm totally confused :oops: Sorry for being so thick but I have to start asking somewhere! :D :lol:

It's once a year they need vaccinating though isn't it? :)
 
As I understand it...

Lapinet is in five dose vials which need to all be used in one day - you have four buns right? if you take all four they might be happy to do Lapinet for you, you'd have to ask.

Anivac is in one dose vials like Cylap and in a non-mineral oil base which helps reduce the side effects for bunny and also for vaccine giver in case they get themselves accidentally. My vet uses this one as standard now.

Ah right, thanks I understand. :D Yep I have 4 buns :) So would one dose get wasted if I had my 4 done for lapinject?
 
I have two rabbits and my vet said the Lapinject was no more expensive than the cylap would have been. My vets no longer use cylap due to the side effects.
 
I think it depends on how well they organise their vaccinations. If they are primarily a cat/dog surgery then maybe they only get one vaccination a day and they might end up wasting 4 of the 5 doses but if they organise a few vaccinations on one day then they don't.
