VHD Vaccine

[Kareen]

There are two VHD vaccines available, the most popular one being Cylap but I find this causes side effect and a local reaction, ask your vet for Lapinject, it seems to be a kinder vaccine. I have used on many rabbits with no reactions at all

some things to look at

I ordered Lapinject for my buns, but when I asked about it no one seemed to believe that there were more reactions with Cylap

I would never use Cylap again! I went to vet today for vaccine but she only had Cylap, so I am waiting till Monday to get Lapinject.

My bun fonzie had a terrible reaction to cylap, he was swaying from side to side and was subdued like he had a flu or something, i took him back and he was given more meds (pain killers and anti-inflamatories) The worst part of the "reaction" was that he developed a big bald patch on his back this was at the site of the injection! This took around 3 months to go back to normal!
My other wee girly bun lilly was given lapinject 2 weeks ago (on the advice of Karren!!) and has had no problems whatsoever.
I spoke to the vet about this and although they had lapinject in stock they don't often use it as the bottle contains 5 doses and if they don't use it in 24hours it has to be thrown out!
So i think it costs the vet more, thats why they don't offer it!? It cost me around the £15 i think for the lapinject, which i'm sure was approx the same as cylap!

Poor bunny Non of my buns have had very serious side effects from Cylap but it is hearing stories like that that made me switch to Lapinject.
