Does anyone do their own vaccinations?

I know a few people give injectable abx themselves and I wondered if anyone does vaccines too?

I do my VHDs but not the Myxis cos I am not confident re the intradermal bit

How does it work Jane? Presumably your vet taught you first then . . .do you buy a batch of meds and do a whole lot of them at once?

Yes. I buy the new VHD now, Lapinject. It comes in 5 dose bottles instead of 10 and is cheaper than the Cylap. Once opened the Lapinject Vaccine has to be used within 8 hours so I try to schedule the VHD Vaccs in multiples of 5
Christobel is coming over to do all 39 Myxis in a couple of weeks.

VHD is a nasty vacc though, accidently stab your thumb and it's a hospital trip! I'd rather my vet took the risk :wink:

If you've got lots of bunnies getting a vet/vet nurse to come out is another option.

Wow! That must be hard work! Do you re-home them or are they all yours?

I dont rehome them. Most of them came from Rescues. I know I'd help many more Buns if I did Rescue AND Rehome but I am not able to do that for lots of reasons.
So when a Bun comes here they stay here :)

Thats lovely. Hope your Buns realize how lucky they are! It must be a full time job.

Well done you!
