Cylap dilemma!

Hi,

My vet is usually very good with my rabbit but they want to use cylap for Daisy's VHD jag :?. They claim they have never had any problems with it which i find odd considering the leaflet says up to 50% :shock: of rabbits will have a reaction. They are going to phone me back after they find out if they can order one of the other brands for me.

Am i being paranoid or should i go with my gut instinct and refuse cylap? i think the people at the vet think i'm crazy!

Thanks,

Laura & Daisy
 
Personally I would never agree to any of my Rabbits receiving the Cylap VHD Vaccine. I use Lapinject and now there is also Anivac :)
 
My buns have always had Cylap... no reactions either.. (phew)
I didn't know the percentage was so high!!
 
Do they know about Anivac? I can understand them not wanting to use Lapinject cos they have to use the whole five doses in one day but with Anivac they don't.
 
I mentioned lapinject and anivac to them. If i was given medication that said up to 50% of people react to it then i know i wouldnt take it so i dont think i should do it to my bunny. I don't really like telling my vet that i know better than them either though!
 
The reaction is usually very minor and only temporary. If your bun is healthy and you have a choice of Cylap vs no vaccine I would get it done.
