Myxi vaccination..probably a stupid question

Bex Dave and Robbie

Warren Veteran
Right one of my buns was on yearly myxi jabs (I know now that it's meant to be 6 monthly but my vet said yearly) anyway he's due in November , I want to get him done asap especially as he is over the 7-8 months it's meant to be effective for...his girlie bun friend is due in December (she's 6 monthly from Eve) Now would it be a problem if I book them in early November to both be done? Can you over dose Myxi vaccine??

Thanks
 
you can get them both done now bec :D ? i once made a mistake and told the vet my bertie was in for mysi when he had it the fornight provious :roll: :roll: :oops: so he had in twice in that month :shock: with no ill effects it just really was useless as it wouldnt take because he already had it....
 
I thought I'd read somewhere that in extremely bad areas myxi jabs can be given every few weeks anyway :?

Thanks Eve..Just getting nervy about all the Myxi about..don't think it's near here yet..but not worth the risk!


nope its certainly is not, make sure they put part into the base of the ear bec!
 
Bertie had his myxi jab last week and I mentioned to my vet what Jane had said about FHB's research about putting it into 3 sites ie. base of both ears and scruff. She said she hadn't heard about it but was very happy to put some under the skin in the base of both ears, so that's what she did!!
