Myxo vaccine help

Hello newbie here. I recently required a rabbit who was unable to stay with its owner. It wasn't vaccinated so I took her to the vets today to be done for myxo. After looking on the internet after I don't think she did the other part of the vaccine that goes just under the skin?

She did it all in the scruff of the neck and didn't change needle or anything so does this mean she definitely didn't do it or can they do it on the way in or out?
 
They can do the 10% intradermal bit on the way in or out. If you are worried just give them a call and check.
 
You might not notice them do it but, if in doubt, I would call them to make sure as Amy said. :)

Some vets prefer to do the intradermal part in the ear but it's also possible to do it at the same time as the rest of the injection into the scruff and, chances are, you wouldn't notice them do it.
 
Sometimes they do the last part whilst they are removing the needle, you might notice they pause for just a couple seconds and that usually means they are delivering the last part into the skin. Only a few vets actually do it into the ear.
