Jack has had to put up with a lot recently. He had a myxi jab about a month ago, then a VHD jab two weeks ago and then was castrated last friday. Poor thing has a huge scab where the VHD jab was - the worst reaction the vet has ever seen apparently - and then another sore patch where we think he had his antibiotic injection after his op which he keep scratching and thats getting worse now. He seems ok in himself although a bit quiet - there hasn't been much racing round the room like a lunatic sinch the myxi jab. He's always following me about and looking for nose rubs at the moment. He's back at the vets first thing tomorrow. Please send healing vibes for my poorly baby!! :(
 
Hello,

My bunny had his Myxi jab 2 and a half weeks ago and he hasn't been right since. I'm really worried now as he has a red mark on the back of his tongue and has gone off his food. The Vet isn't sure what it is but it seems to have happened straight after he had his jab.

Hope Jack is better soon.

Hugs,

Nicola and Harvey xxx
 
Jack was just a little quiet after his myxi - which was the jab the vet was concerned about effecting him. After the VHD jab he is still a little quiet - the scab that appeared just keeps getting bigger and more angry looking. Doesn't help that he keeps scratching it. I was following him around yesterday evening stopping him from scratching, he got really annoyed and hid from me! :roll: Not a lot else I can do - hopefully the vet will do something tomorrow. He isn't off his food though and spent ages sat in his hay box in the living room chomping quietly and looking a bit sorry for himself.

Hope your bunny is better soon Nicola.
 
Hi Jay,

I've been worrying myself silly over Harvey.

At least Jack is eating which is a very good sign.

Give him lots of huggles from me.

Jack is getting lots of hugs - I keep putting him on my lap - knees drawn up to my chest and hugging him and giving him nose rubs. He allows me to do this for about 5 mins before jumping out and sitting about a foot away from me shaking out his ears and looking at me with an "thats my cuddle over with now, I've more important things to 'chew' :lol: !!"- its very funny!!

They do cause us a lot of worry do our buns!! Hope Harvey starts eating again very soon.
 
I've never been offered the vhd jab by my vet and am tempted not to ask for it as I've heard of some really bad reactions! Not just scabs, but serious illness and even death!
