Sorry to hear that Rob. I always have my bunnies vaccinated, Poppy had her myximitosis today and her VHD is booked in for the 19th. Its only £12.00 a vaccination.
 
All of our buns get the vaccination - usually due early December as that is when we have the majority of them done- we try if we can to get any new ones vaccinated around the same time to.
Just couldn't risk it - I would never forgive myself :(

That's what I think now too. Before I joined the forum my vet said that as he's a house bunny and there is no VHD in our area then there was no need for Myxi or VHD vacs. After reading peoples posts here I've had Joey done in the past two weeks. As Jaypot said, I just wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happened...... for the sake of £25!
 
All 35 bunnies are vaccinated here at the Sanctuary, we have the vaccinations done in March.
 
Adele were all your bunnies ok after the vacs??

Does either jab make the buns feel poorly at all???

Vacs are next on my list just had them all neutered and the vet said leave it a couple weeks before they have the jabs
 
My lot are homoeopathically treated against VHD. Myxie and Pasturella. They have all been conventionally vaccinated previously. After much research I decided to go the homeopathic route at the beginning of the year.

I know a lot of people don’t agree with this method but I have a lot of faith in it.

I certainly wouldn’t recommend anybody take the decision to go the homeopathic route lightly. You need to research it thoroughly and weigh up the pros and the cons.

Yes, both buns have myxi vacs twice a year and vhd once a year. Rob had his vhd today and he's not been as lively as normal tonight - I'm not worried (yet :? ) as I know they are normally a bit subdued after it.
 
yes i vaccinate againast both vhd and myxi id never forgive myself if something happened either
myxi costs 12.50 the vhd (cylap) 13.50
we vaccinate in august/september

Ellepotter,

What is the homeopathic basis for vaccinating against a virus ?

Hiya,

I would love to know more about the homeopathic stuff for pasturella. I do my vets head in constently asking if there is a jab for it yet. Although there isn't one, she said she looking forward to one as it's difficult to treat. I am a proper worry wort when it comes to my bunnies and I would like to take an alternative route to cover them for this.
 
All (19) of mine are done and if I take any in I get them done straight away. As like everybody else I would never forgive myself.
