  • Please Note - Medical Advice

    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Mama Doe
Last Sunday I bonded Bally, a lovely french lop with Candy and Jasper ready to go to their fab new home this weekend. Bally had her Myxi vacc on Sunday but just 4 days later she suddenly developed severe respiratory problems. Dispite receiving appropriate meds and being put in an oxygen tent at the vets she sadly had to be put to sleep as she was starting to suffer and nothing more could be done :cry: Does anyone know if this could be a reaction to the myxi vacc as she was a perfectly healthy bunny before that :cry:
 
My Vet says that any apparently clinically 'well' Rabbit can have lungs that are shot to pieces from latent Pasteurellosis. My Vet recently lost a very young Doe under GA (routine spay) and a PM revealed severe Pasteurella damage to the lungs. The Bun had no clinical symptoms what-so-ever and her chest sounded as clear as a bell.

Maybe Bally had a similar problem and once the immune system was 'diverted' to react to the Myxi Vacc (as is meant to happen) the latent Pasteurella in the lungs became active and took over.

Poor Bun :cry:
