A friend took 2 rabbits off me which we thought were sisters, It soon became apparent that one was not a female so the boy was neutered on Tuesday and he went for his 2-day check today . The Vet was quite happy to vaccinate him and I asked if it was too soon after his neuter and she said no. Has anyone else experienced this?

Personally I would have left it for a week

My vet used to leave 2 weeks - as with a weakened immune system the vaccine response will be poor meaning it will not be as effective
I didn't realise she had booked him in to be vaccinated as I had gone in the shop otherwise I would have persuaded her not to. I was quite shocked when the Vet got the vaccine out. I hope he will be all right. She also bought some straw to put in their litter tray and I explained about that but I don't think she likes the idea of a rabbit eating hay and pooing at the same time.
Apparently he is fine today. They're settling in to their new home, got a small room to themselves so gone from "rags to riches" and they certainly deserve it as they are the friendliest rabbits you could have. So here's to a long and happy life for them.

Interesting you raised this.. Flymo was vaccinated this year on his 3 day check post-neutering. They wouldn't do the same for Rosie. I wonder if it's the scale/size of the op? (And actually, writing this reminds me we didn't take her back for her vaccinations :shock
