well by rights this would be after 5 months and i dont think i am in a high risk area, just saves me going again next month really, feel like i spend my like there at the moment! :lol:
 
just go for it tomorrow :D i have vets again Friday for Flash "balls" or should I say "ball-less" check up. hopefully that will be it for the vets - touch wood until Flash's jabs next year :D
 
I'm sure I read somewhere that this vaccination shouldn't be given before a 6 month interval, and that is why bunnies which are 'dumped' etc have to wait before being vaccinated - to make sure there is a 6 month gap :?

Can't for the life of me remember where I read this - let me go and check :?
 
Hi again

Nope, I think I was wrong :lol: (although I'm a stubborn devil and still believe I read that somewhere :wink: ).

There was a previous post on 'over vaccinating' and Adele quoted

We have this dilemma when bunnies arrive that we do not know the history of, or if they have been vaccinated.
My Vet said that giving a vaccine if it has already been done recently should not be harmful, the body will just not take it up properly as antibodies will have already been formed.
The risk of leaving a bunny unvaccinated is much greater than vaccinating too regularly, especially if it is just on one occasion.

Heres the link:

We asked the vet about this as all our bunnies were due their vaccines at different times and we wanted to get them in sync. He said there was no problem, and we got them all done and they were all fine.
 
Kathy in Nottingham said that about her new bunnies to me Lynn re the VHD vaccine when I asked if Cosmos was vaccinated.

I have held off so I can get them all done together next month.
