Max died last night, he was six, a giant bunny, 6.8Kg two weeks ago. We had some tricky times together. One time he was near death with EC but we pulled back and he's been well for a good two years with regular panacur and myxi vaccinations.
Two weeks ago I took him to be vaccinated and was offered the combination. I took it, he's never had VHD vaccination before. He was given a very thorough examination and pronounced fit.
I started panacur this Monday so he had four doses of that this week and a good defluff and massage every day! He was eating well yesterday but died in the night.
I guess it should be a time to celebrate his life. He was rescued with his brother. I thank Karen for that and Animates for letting us have them. They both had a blast!
I called the vet to let them know and they told me that it wouldn't be anything to do with the vaccination although I read on this site that the most serious complications come 2 - 4 weeks after vaccination. The nurse said they don't and six is a good age for a giant, she'll report it to the manufacturers anyway. We have another younger bunny who was done at the same time and she seems fine, different risk factors.
I just wanted to share this with the forum and wondered if anyone else had a similar experience.
