Allergic Reaction to Vaccine?

Good morning everyone.
Has anyone's rabbit had an allergic reaction to their vaccines?
My boy had a small raised lump on his nose which the vet said was a reaction to the Myx/VHD vaccine he had 2 weeks ago. Following his most recent vaccination for the RHD2 on Saturday he now has another lump. Vet says they will go within a couple of weeks. They don't seem to be bothering him but they look awful.
Just wondering was this a common thing?
Thanks
 
My rabbits sometimes develop lumps at vaccination sites, which disappear after 2/3 weeks. If they persist, then they need to go back. However, the fact it's on his nose sounds unusual to me - I don't know if there's anyone who knows better who can advise you.
 
Sorry this was missed yesterday! A few rabbits on the Forum have had a reaction to the Myxo/RHD1 vaccine. Maybe one of those members will see this now and reply.

With the Nobivac Myxo-RHD Vaccine a rare side effected is that the Rabbit develops mild symptoms of myxomatosis within 3 weeks of the vaccine being given

Is the second raised lump on his face again ? If so it is more likely to be a further reaction to the Nobivac given 2 weeks ago rather than the RHD2 Vaccine given on Saturday.

If, however, the second lump is at the site where the RHD2 Vaccine was given then it is a local reaction to that vaccine.

How is your boy now, any better?

It's not a common thing to get lumps on the face following a vaccination. Usually the reaction is actually at the vaccination site and can develop into a small abscess like lump.

Hope he's OK xx
