Rabbit injections

[chrisii1991]

Harvie and scruffy have to go soon to the vets for injections which have to be done yearly.Does anyone roughly know how much they will cost per rabbit?i know theyre vacinations against VHD and myxmatosis which deffo dont want them getting

Sorry for the late reply,
The injections are sometimes one injection of both(new to vets, mine dose it for £45 per rabbit)
Single injections I think where about 30-35 each, with a 2 week gap in between.

I know sometimes people don't do it, but or 50ish a year per rabbit, it's worth it unless you are over run with them

Mine will have theirs once my girl is spayed, I want them nice and settled before having them, and I will do the 2 in 1 injection.

I don't know if they charge a consultation fee, as it should come in as a routine job not a 'find what's wrong' job.
Hope this helps x

I would try and get the new combined vaccination if you can. it offers better protection against Myxo than the previous vaccine due to the manufacturing method used. It will vary from vet to vet, and also depndant on where you are in the country, I believe it was about £30 per vaccination at my vets. don't know what they charge for combined vaccine. you could probably ring them and ask as there is usually a set price.

you deffinatly need the injections, are you going for the single injections or the combined? personally im sticking with singles atm as the new combined one is still in the test phase, the effectivness of the myxi cover has not yet been proven.

the single myxi vaccine is actually a 6 monthly vacc
and the single VHD is a 12monthly vacc, if you get the single you NEED to make sure its eithe lappinject or anivac, do NOT go for the cylap, if your vet only does cylap find a different vet, cylap is not safe and many many rabbits have reactions to it, ranging from minor lumps and bumps to much much worse
