CYLAP side effects

Young Bun
hello, after giving her Lapinject for the last couple of years my vet decided without telling me to give Lulu Cylap. She had the documented side effects of going lame on one side. Luckily today she is better and back to herself.
What annoyed me more was the reception I received from my vets today when I phoned them to inform them of Lulus side effects. I never managed to actually speak to my vet as I couldn't get passed the vetinary nurse. As she cut me off before I even got to state that there had been a problem with the vaccination and told me that "Cylap is what we use now". It appeared that as she pre-empted what I was about to say therefore they must have experienced reports of problems with the Cylap vaccine previously.
Whilst I do intend to speak to the vet tommorow I am now left with trying to find a vet in my local area that does not use Cylap...unfortunately everyone I have tried so far only use Cylap. Can anyone tell me will vets order in Lapinject if you request it?
 
that's really bad that they did that.

my vets use cylap but said they can order lapinject in if i wanted that instead. my two luckily haven't had any reactions to cylap though.

if they are a good vets they should order some lapinject in for you.

glad your bunny is ok now. :)
 
that's damn typical. I have probs with mine sometimes, just because they have had training they think they know more than you when in actual fact no-one knows your bun better than you :lol:
