My rabbit had the combi vaccine for the first time yesterday evening as opposed to the old two separate vaccines. This morning, she is not herself. She wouldn't eat nuggets, only herbs and appeared to be a bit aggitated and then hiding in her box. Has anyone else had this with a bun after the combi? My other rabbit had a reaction after Cylap once but that was a skin thing. Be grateful if anyone could tell me if this is usual after this relatively new vaccine. She is a bit of a sensitive bun, having a skin reaction after recent dental treatment.

no problems here. if anything, it's meant to be alot gentler than the old vaccines. i found that with bisc and matt. they were back to normal when we got home.
sounds like your girl is sensitive anyway. could you ring the vets for advice? some rabbits are a bit off colour for a day or so after a vaccine so hopefully she will be ok but best to get advice from the vets aswell i think. :wave:

Thanks for the advice. Having fed her herbs earlier, which was the only thing she fancied eating, I have dashed home from work, hoping to find my buns in their usual places and she is ALOT better!!! She has eaten everything that I have offered her and seems back to her usual bouncy self. I can't believe she looked so awful this morning, she was obviously feeling really rough. Hopefully that is that and the skin sores that she had recently at the site of injections don't follow again! Thanks again for the advice it was a great help.
