Well I am actually shocked...I was expecting them to say I don't know 70 - 100 pounds at the most...they told us that it would cost 400 pounds if we wanted to use Anivac as they apparently have to order in boxes of the stuff...We are now going to ring around other vets and find out if they can do it for us. Do you think it would be wise to maybe write a letter to them explaining why I requested it in the first place and with the research and information attatched? I'm glad I know from here that £400 is not true and I'm not really sure why they are telling us this other than they just don't see why we want to use it even though my OH explained to them the reasons. I felt quite dissapointed and angry when I found out... I feel it is totally within my rights to request this as I don't want to risk putting my rabbits through having Cylap when I know there is a safer cheaper vaccine around they can have.

Shocked They are having a laugh, are'nt they. My vet uses Lapinjet. I have never paid any more than £17.50 for each of their jabs. Your vets are obviously not bothered about rabbit welfare. Mad

I have done some research and found another vets that have members of their team who have special interests in rabbits and exotics, it's quite a bit further away but I have emailed them asking about Anivac etc. If I don't get a reply by tomorrow eve I shall give them a call.

their website looks quite good and they even have a diet section about rabbits and explaining about how their teeth grow. I'm quite impressed I must say! Fingers crossed I have a good reply back from them Smile

Just spoke to my OH as well who is the one who spoke to them and she just kept saying what the girl said yesterday too that "we wouldn't use it if there was anything wrong with it" and "Have you actually had any problems with it personally?"...as if we are just kicking up a fuss for no reason...or we're stupid, oh and that her rabbit had it and he was fine. They didn't even seem curious as to what we thought was actually wrong with it or anything. Really not happy with this. I think I must be annoying everyone whose at home atm, cus I've been ranting about it since I got in at half past 5 Laughing

They do make you mad don't they love? I posted on here today screaming because someone had said bunies were evil.

You rant to us, we do not mind. Time for a change of vet - I would let them know how angry you are.

Hugs

I asked my vets to order it in specially and it cost me exactly the same as if I had used Cylap - about £18. I think your vets are being really unhelpful. I really don't think my vets ordered in 400 shots at all.

Next time I am in - which will probably be early next week - I will ask them about ordering stuff and if there are minimum amounts. It might be that they have a lot of Cylap that they are scared will go out of date. In any case, it is very unfair what they are doing. I would be tempted to change vets if you can.

Thanks Nickie, I wandered if it might be...like where I work when they order things in...they have to order in minimum amount of boxes but that's cinema food...so no idea if it'd be the same for a vets. They just seemed to be suggesting to my OH that because we havent personally had a problem with it then we had no reason to be requesting this. I have emailed a different vets about it...fingers crossed they can help. Smile


*edit* Yey! Heard back from the other vets and they use Anivac anyway and for the reasons I stated in my email Happy Dance I'm actually so happy! I have high hopes for this vets now...actually quite excited haha.

cheers cheers cheers

I would be tempted to write a polite letter your old vets (after you have decided you like the new ones!) letting them know why you are switching and letting them know how unhappy you were about their attitude to your animals' care and your custom.

Cylap - Page 2 Empty Gypsy & his VHD Limp .....For Jay

Post by Tuckerbunnies Fri May 13, 2011 3:19 pm

It was back in 2005 or maybe longer as Gypsy is nearly 7 now and we had taken him for his VHD cyclap vaccine which he had with no problem and we took him home and put him back in his indoor home to settle. At Night we took him out to put him in his play pen and noticed he was holding one of his front legs up. We thought at first he had something stuck in his paw but of course there was nothing there. We thought we would leave him till the following day to see how he was but he was just the same the next morning and we took him back to our vets. I explained he was ok when we brought him for his VHD vaccine and now he is holding his leg up. The vet had no idea apart from she thought she may have caught a nerve and that's why he was limping and did apologise. We think now it was the VHD limp that is now associated with Cyclap but in 2005 you didn't hear or know of any problems with Cyclap so we were none the wiser.
Gypsy's limp went after about 4 days.
