How long do I need to wait before vaccinations?

Hi all :D

Jen and her man are coming home tonight :love: I want to leave them a while to get settled in, but then I'd like to take both to get Myxi / VHD vaccs. Jen was booked in for this previously but the vet decided to postpone it as she had an incident of gassy tummy / being off colour. Once she recovered from that though it was almost time for her spay, so she's still waiting!

Harley will need both his vaccs too.

How long should I give them to settle in before taking them to the vet together?

Also - could someone please clarify what I need to ask my vet re: adminstrating the jabs (half of the myxi jab (?) needs to go in the base of the ears? Is that right?).

I'm going to ring my vet and ask them about the jabs, but if my vet doesn't seem confident about it, I would like to take both buns to get it done with a vet who will - could anyone recommend someone in Sheffield with a bunny savvy vet who can do this?

Thanks :D

I go to Hallam Vets in Hillsborough, they're always pretty good.

Excellent - they are my current vet! :lol: I took Jen there for her spay and they seemed pretty good, but I was worried that as a reasonably new bunny mum I'd have no idea if a vet was bunny savvy or not :oops: Is there a particular vet there you use?
 
Hi i would take them for the first jab straight away. Better to have them covered :D You then need to wait a fortnight to have the 2nd vacs.
10% of the mxyi should be into the skin, this an be done by a seperate injection into the base of the ear or into the skin on the bunnies back.
Or some vets pull the one needle out part way to inject the last of the vaccine.
Ask your vet how he/she does it before they inject your bun, if they do it properly they won't mind you asking! :D
And looking forward to piccies of your 2 bunnies!
