We had the buns inoculated against VHD yesterday and today one bun is holding her front paw as though she has hurt it.

I read elsewhere that this could be due to a side effect of the vaccine but this should go within 48hours. Has anyone else noticed this?

I was all set to go to the vets and did ring them. The advice was to check they are eating ok (and they are but a bit quiet after the jab) and see how they are in the morning.

Hopefully bun will be back to normal in the morning.

It could be a reaction to the vaccine. Did she have a Cylap VHD vaccine? Next time they are vaccinated, ask for the Lapinject vaccination as it has far fewer reactions than the Cylap. The Cylap can have as many as 50% of rabbits reacting to it.

Thanks Sevenpets - yes it was Cylap. I did mention the other type but they don't use it. I will have a chat with them.

God, don't say this mine are booked in this evening at 5pm for VHD

Hope your rabs are ok. Our little one is now back to normal and the paw problem has resolved itself. I sent our vets some info from the internet - no reply so far but I will discuss it with them.

They are a bit quiet for a day or two but have both come round again.

Let me know how you got on and how your buns are.
