Did someone mention a shortage of myxi vaccines?

Hugo's There

Wise Old Thumper
I am sure I remember reading something on here like that :?

Anyway our vet has just rung to cancel all the vacs we had booked for tomorrow as they can't get the vaccines in :(

they are hoping to have some more in next week but am a little worried now
 
That was me, but that was back in February. I think my vet thought they would be sorted before now.

I hope your vets can get the vaccines ASAP for your crew and other people's bunnies.

Gosh that is worrying :?
 
I've got 8 booked for next week , vets haven't mentioned anything

No ours never said anything when we booked them earlier in the week. They rang literally an hour ago to cancel for the morning :( Their suppliers didn't put any in with their drug order as they didn't have any :?

Bit annoyed but I am hoping it will be sorted later in the week. If the shortage was back in February then hopefully its nothing to worry about

Maybe it was just a stuff up with the order as opposed to anything bigger?
 
That's a pain in the bum - at least they rang today though, rather than you carting the buns down there tomorrow and finding out (which is probably what would happen if it was me :roll::lol:).

I hope it's just a temporary glitch.
 
It was a one off I believe and the manufacturers denied any shortage at the time.

They did. My vets rang as I told them the rumour that was going round :oops::oops: The manufacturers said that they were having a big push on encouraging vaccinations and they wouldn't do that if there was a shortage. It didn't stop my vets putting a big order in just in case.

I wonder if there are different places that supply it, and whether that was the issue. I wouldn't say it was a rumour because my vet was pretty stressed about it. I get no one else appeared to struggle, but they definitely were.
 
Maybe National Vaccination Month has got off to such a roaring start, they've run out. :shock:

:lol::lol::lol: You have a point, they are offering £10 off for a vaccination course in May, knowing our vet they probably don;t want to loose money :lol:

:lol::lol: They'll be out of stock for the whole of May and, suprise surprise, be able to fit you in on 1st June once the offer's finished.

Sorry, my wording sounded like I was trivialising it, I described it to my vets as coming from a 'reliable and trusted source' at the time, as I know you would only have mentioned it if you felt there was a genuine problem. It was really weird at that time and I know I worried about it. I've got two due mid July but the others have been done recently, it won't stop me worrying again that it could happen. I can't bear the idea of them not being vaccinated.

OH took ours for their myxi vacs on Tuesday. When he got there, the vet said to the receptionist 'oops - we're down to our last two of these' and asked the receptionist to order more for the next day and re-book all others booked in that day. It seemed an oversight rather than a shortage - could it just have been something like that?
 
We had 25 done mid April - they just made sure they ordered them for us the week before & there was no problems :)
 
We had 10 done just before the bank holidays without a problem and were taking the second batch of bunnies up to be done today.

They do order them in advance for us but this time the order didn't turn up:?

Hopefully it will be sorted quickly and we can get them done asap :)
