I took my bun to the vet at about 10 weeks, and he had his myxi jab straight away. Then they do the VHD jab 2 weeks later.

There are different VHD Vaccines available, you'll need to establish which one your Vet uses.

Jane, do you have an info sheet or a link to a site that explains the risks of Cylap, maybe with a few pictures? My sister is a vet and their practice uses Cylap. I'm trying to get some info together for her to show to her bosses.
