Can we vaccine our rabbit ourselves with online order

[rrraaa]

I found vaccines for rabbits sales online, and injections lessons on YouTube, is it possible we can do it at home?
How about vet prescription?

This is really not a good idea at all. You need to take your pet to a vet for this.

I've never heard of anyone doing this for rabbits but I think it's somewhat common for cats and dogs. In the past I've held family cats while my dad gave the vaccination.

Rabbits are delicate and it's not really something the average person should do though. Normally your vet will first show you how to do medical procedures before you do it yourself, if something needs to be done at home.

Thanks, it is easy once you watched this simple video:

Unless you have authorisation from your Vet to administer the vaccines yourself then it’s illegal here in the UK

That's very interesting. I don't think it is allowed in the UK.

How much do they charge for the vaccine?

In my state, it's only illegal with the rabies vaccine. As it's important that there's records on when the pet had it, that it's administered correctly, and that the vaccine was stored correctly (not left out to get hot, etc). Since, for example, if someone's dog bites you, they need to show you that the dog's vaccines are up to date and that you can trust that.

I was commenting about William's father vaccinating their cats and said that I doubted it would be allowed in the UK.

A youtube video wil not teach you how to do it. You would be putting yout animals at risk by trying.

Breeders should be paying to vacinate all animals the same as anyone else.

It depends where you live as different vets can charge different prices. I recently paid £90 for the triple vaccine. In the UK it is illegal to vaccinate a rabbit yourself, I also don't know if I would trust something sold online in such a way.

Any breeder should vaccinate prior to you buying. Or better still a rescue centre will definitely vaccinate prior to you adopting a rabbit from there.

Vaccination by a vet also includes a health check first, to make sure they are fit for the vaccine. The vet will fill in and sign the vaccine record booklet afterwards, which provides a confirmation of the vaccination that will be accepted elsewhere (eg for boarding establishments). As has aready been pointed out, vaccinations in the UK can only be carried out by suitably qualified people (ie vets, and sometimes vet nurses).

It may be counterfeit vaccine if they sell it without a vet script.

Mixing up the vaccine vial correctly can be quite difficult if you haven't been taught how to use it. Some vaccine failures for RHD are likely from multi-dose vials where it hasn't been consistently given.

You are best calling some local vet practices and asking for the cost. Some will do a home visit if you have a lot of animals, or allow several animals to share an appointment.

Breeders should pay for the vaccines for all their rabbits, including kits from 5 weeks old before they go to new homes. They shouldn't keep more rabbits than they have the financial resources to provide adequate veterinary care for.
