I took two foster bunnies for the combined vaccine the Friday before last, and I have noticed today that they both have small swellings above their eyes. It isn't anything big, almost a bit like an inflamed spot. I have no idea if it is related to the vaccine or not, but it was the first thing I thought of as they were vaccinated so recently.
Another possibility is that it is some kind of trauma, as these two had to be separated after falling out, so they *could* have hurt each other before they were separated. It would be a bit odd if it was that though because I didn't notice it at the time and I did check them both over after I witnessed the tussle, and the sores are in exactly the same location on both rabbits.
I can't see any other sores on mouths/noses or genitalia. They are eating and behaving normally.
Has anyone else had anything like this after the combined vaccine? I'm waiting for the vet to call back, but I expect I will be taking these two in for a check up later. Poor little ones . I am so scared that it is real myxi, as the vaccine won't have had a chance to take yet.
