Hugo's There

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to start a thread specifically for bunnies with health problems who have had the new dual vaccine. I know many people are worried about getting it for their bunnies if they do have issues and I know that quite a few bunnies with underlying health problems have already had it
I thought it might be good for people to post what health problems their rabbits have and what if any problems they have encountered when getting them vaccinated.
Obviously I know that not every rabbit is well enough to be vaccinated and you should always take the advice of a rabbit savvy vet regarding vaccinations. But there are many bunnies out there with long term health problems and vaccinating them is always a big decision and an even bigger one when it is something completely new!
We have always been extra cautious about which bunnies we vaccinate and while we will always have bunnies who cannot be vaccinated due to illness, this week we did take a few for the new dual vaccine who we haven't vaccinated in the past and so far all seems good.
Firstly, I have always been too nervous to vaccinate Dave our head tilt bunny But on wednesday he had his dual vaccination and so far so good
Also vaccinated for the first time in just over a year was Babs. When she arrived we vaccinated her for myxi but this brought on an underlying pasturella infection we were not aware of and so she never went on to have VHD. Bloods also showed her liver was not working properly so for the past year we have left all vaccinations. However more recent bloods showed her liver function had improved so we decided to vaccinate her this time. Its a little early to say whether the pasturella will return but so far she is fine
So if your bunny has health problems but has had the new vaccine please post your experience :wave:
