I'm lost.
Never said that i bring them into the UK did i but i know breeders out there that by them over the counter and vaccinate thier stock i have many friends abroad now so just find it wierd that they can do it but we cant?
they can do it in america, norway, sweaden ect why are we any different??
You and me both. shall we have a picnic?
I'm lost.
:lol::lol: I think we're all still wandering about in the woods on this one. Ok here's the nearest I can get to an explanation.
Imagine you have two friends, let's call them M and V, and a loaf of sultana bread. M absolutely loves bread, and because she loves bread so much, she would happily eat an entire sultana loaf in one go...not because she cared about the sultanas, but just because it contained bread.
V on the other hand doesn't like bread, but does love sultanas. With the same speed and gusto that M would eat the bread, he would pick the sultanas out of the bread and eat those.
So if M and V are both together and are both given a lump of sultana bread, V would busily pick all the sultanas out and eat them, leaving M to eat the bread. Both are happy because both get what they want. However, if only M is present at the time the loaf arrives, M will eat the whole lot including the sultanas, meaning that when V turns up later, there aren't any sultanas left for him to eat. It doesn't matter if V turns up first, because V will just pick the sultanas out, meaning that the bread will still be there when M turns up.
Now turn M and V into myxo and VHD and replace sultana bread with a combined vaccine, where the bread is the myxo portion and the sultanas are the VHD portion.
Clear as mud :lol::lol:

I think I'm getting there now. so for bunnies who have had both vaccines prior it's ok, but those who've only have myxo need to have both prior seperately?
So if this is aimed at those who don't vaccinate it's ok, but if aimed at those who only vaccinate for myxo then it's going to be a whole lot more complicated. And for those here who can't vaccinate for VHD due to ill health bunnies it's even more complicated.
Or am I still lost?
So if this is aimed at those who don't vaccinate it's ok, but if aimed at those who only vaccinate for myxo then it's going to be a whole lot more complicated.
Otherwise, those who have only been vaccinated against myxo and any with unknown history will need a second dose to ensure they're protected against VHD.
I was at the vets this week for Gabe, Hollie and Rosies's VHD jabs - the first time they have had Anivac.
My vet was as confused as me about what is going in with the new vaccine and the single vaccines. She did say that she couldn't understand why Anivac had been developed so recently if it was not going to be needed in the future. Unless of course the dual vaccine development has been kept under the radar.
She then said that she would speak to Pfizer about it - is Pfizer involved???? I didn't think so but as I was trying to stop Hollie from leaping over my shoulder at the time (nice scratch on my forehead :roll I let it go.
All six buns are back for a myxi jab in a couple of weeks so I will see then if she has any more info.
