Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

I took lily to get her myxi vacc last week and said to the vet bout getting VHD vacc too. He said they didn't have it in stock and would have to order it. he phoned a couple of nights ago to say they could only order in packs of 10 and as i was the only person in the area who asked for it so it wasn't economical. If i phoned round other vets do you think they would give me it?

crickey thats odd isn't it? I don't see why other vets wouldn't have it. I suppose you wouldn't lose anything by giving it a try.
 
I would ring round and try other vets maybe your current vet doesn't deal in rabbits so much, hence not wanting to order the vaccine.

Good Luck hope you get it sorted.
