Hi well last night we took three of our rabbits for thier myxo injections (we would have asked about the new myxo-VHD one but they all had thier VHD injections in september so they wouldn't need the double injection until september this year). Anyway tonight we take our remaining four rabbits for thier myxo injections. did ask to make it clear that it wasn't the new one and the vet says it is just myxo. Well a few things were odd. She told us it was a new myxo injection that only needs to be done once a year. Also the computer at reception when paying gave the bill as over £150 instead of around £90 which the receptionists said wasn't right so they corrected it for us. We thought at the time it was just a mistake in what she typed up. But when we got home in thier little books with thier injection records, the little stickers they put in from the vials of the injection all four had Myxo-RHD whereas last night all three had the normal Myxo stickers. So now i am confused, when we asked if it was just myxo and not both she said yes but then the 1 year thing she said and the other things all point to it being the double one. If she has given the double one i am worried, could the double VHD dosage be harmful to them? Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I don't think it's harmful, but it might be best to check with the vet. One that knows about rabbits if you have one.
Shouldn't cause any harm to have a second jab, even if it was two of the standard VHD jabs it wouldn't have caused an issue. I would bring it up with the vets though because if you ask your vet questions you should expect to get accurate information and you need to know whether you need to repeat the VHD.
