The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Hi all
I popped to the vets earlier to book my two in for their combo vaccine tomorrow, apparently there us a shortage of the vaccine at the minute, due to the manufacturer not having one of the ingredients to make it. Luckily, they have five vaccines left at our vets so our two will get theirs tomorrow.....phew.
Not sure if this is a country wide problem, or just here in Yorkshire, but thought it maybe useful to know if any of your buns are due it soon x
 
I received an email from my vet about the same thing today and I'm in Kent. I just came on to see if anyone had mentioned it.

It's a really big problem unfortunately - here's some reading on it:

The nutshell version is that the UK has hardly any single doses left so the manufacturers are importing 50 dose vials from France - these will be rationed out to vet practices, but the tricky bit is once it is opened they have to use all 50 doses within 4 hours! So, if your rabbits need vaccinating in September (after the single doses are out of stock) and possibly October then the only opportunity you will get is to go to a mass vaccination clinic within a 4 hour time slot :?
