Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to avoid a variety of diseases. For example, rabbits are very vulnerable to various diseases and they simply need this procedure. How can vaccinations be made in rabbits at home?
Despite the complexity of vaccination, many learn how to do it on their own, while spending significantly less money.
What vaccinations do rabbits do?
To begin with, it is necessary to determine what vaccines are needed for decorative rabbits, and which are usual.
Vaccinations that are mandatory for normal rabbits are divided into two groups: those that are made primarily ( haemorrhagic disease and myxomatosis) and those that are made into the second (from paratyphoid and pasteurellosis). Drugs for the treatment of diseases from the first group need to introduce a rabbit at the age of 30 days with a pause of 10 days. This will protect him from allergic reactions associated with the introduction of drugs of different categories. Vaccinations from paratyphoid and pasteurellosis can be done not earlier than a month after the first vaccination. In any case, before you buy and enter the vaccine, always consult a veterinarian.
Decorative rabbits are most often kept in captivity without contacting other animals, so they need to be vaccinated only from those diseases that they can become infected by eating food. The first vaccination (from leaferosis) can be done at the age of 60 days. And for the next 45 days it is necessary to make a vaccine against rabies. If necessary, and also in the case of a veterinarian's recommendation, vaccination against viral haemorrhagic disease may also be necessary.
But, whether you need to vaccinate rabbits, you decide. It is worth remembering that these animals are very vulnerable to various diseases, many of which are not treated and lead to death. And most often the reason for this is the lack of vaccination.
