Vibes for Rumball please?

[jerseygirl]

Could I have some magical BinkyBunny vibes for my Rumball?
He had his rhdv vaccination on the weekend and he’s not doing so well after it. Perhaps it was too much stress on his 10yr old body.
*worried*

Rumball!! You must get better! You can’t worry your mum like this. ((((((Rumball))))))

Wishing him the best, Jersey, let me know if you need anything.

Wishing you well soon!?

Thanks for all the vibes! He’s eating a little (willow, pear leaves, rose leaves, some hay). Very minimal, small poops but at least they are round. Yesterday he had loose poops. He’s been sitting with squinted eyes but I have seen him lying stretched out at times and moving about when he needs, though no where near normal activity. Im not sure what he’s feeling tbh.
I feel especially bad as I needed to be with my Mum most of yesterday, then once I got home, had to go to work within the hour. So I wasn’t able to monitor him much. He was probably glad for me leaving him alone…

ETA: It’s weird, as I had mentioned to a friend on the weekend how I had gone somewhat anti-vaccine and reluctant to have the buns done. I don’t exactly know why, it was just a feeling. It’s strange I was even feeling that way because rabbit owners here are scrambling to vaccinate due to the release of a new calici virus. There is so much talk online and I think I had just lost confidence in the vaccine. And I was aware it can have side effects. 

[Azerane]

Try not to feel bad about that Jersey, your mum needs you too (hope things are going as well as they can be there). I’m glad that he is at least eating something, even if it’s minimal. I would suspect that he’ll be alright, just his body being older is probably struggling to produce all the antibodies as quickly as a younger rabbit would. Maybe in future, being a senior bun and indoors, it’s just best to avoid the vaccine for him and he can rely on herd immunity from your other bunnies.

I know everyone seems to be running around like crazy and even the Aus Veterinary Association recommendations have changed to off-label 6 monthly, but I think I’m still going to get my buns done as per the yearly schedule. If cylap protects against the original strain for 12 months, and is shown to protect against K5 (even if the trials were so minimal), I don’t see why it also wouldn’t protect for 12 months.

I agree, completely, Jersey. Vaccinations are among those things that you get more confused about the more you read about it. They do challenge the immune system, that’s how they work. But then there are a lot of myths and misconceptions and lots of conspiracy theories. F ex that mass vaccination of children in the Western world has made cancer later in life more prevalent here. Cancer isn’t more prevalent among old people in the Western world, but we have more old people.

It’s a highly controversial subject and really rather complicated. I worry about Bam because he’s getting old-ish and it’s of course riskier for the elderly. Then again, calici virus will kill a bunny, the amount of virus it takes is very, very small, so I’ve booked him in for his re-vaccination next week.

I just read about vaccination of dogs, some suggest the common vaccines (here distemper, parvo virus, dog hepatitis and if you plan to take your dog abroad, rabies) last a lot longer than previously thought, so you should rather do a blood-test for anti-bodies of these respective diseases than do routine re-vaccination. My guess is that such testing must be very expensive (far more expensive than vaccination), and it’s probably not even available for bunnies.

[jerseygirl]

I agree Azerane. I had already decided a while back that I wouldn’t be doing the 6 monthly vaccinating for my bunners. 

Lastest update: Rumball has made a healthy deposit at The Latrine Bank.  His investment in high fibre commodities has brought high fibre returns.

Thanks once again for thinking of my boy everyone! I think he has really turned the corner now. *touch wood* #feelingrelieved

[Ellie from The Netherlands]

Hurrah for poops! Hope you’ll stay on the track towards good health again Rumball!

[Luna]

Luna’s late to the party but she sends stay well vibes ((((Rumball))))

[Bam]

Poooop!!!! Good boy!!!!

[Azerane]

Woohoo!! Go Rumball! Hopefully he keeps investing and making deposits

How did I miss this thread?? I’m so glad Rumball’s portfolio has improved. I hope he continues to profit (((Rumball)))

[Hazel]

Poor Rumball! I hope he keeps getting better, sending lots of healing vibes!

[Azerane]

How’s Rumball today?

[jerseygirl]

Pretty good, i think!  More energy & was enthusiastic for his morning pellets.

[jerseygirl]

Hi Hazel! ??

[Q8bunny]

Squeee!

[Bam]

Most reactions to a vaccine means the body is making antibodies, ie the vaccine has “taken”. A certain percent of vaccinated animals and humans don’t make antibodies after having been vaccinated and thus remain unprotected. So a reaction isn’t all bad, so to speak. What a pretty food bowl!

[jerseygirl]

That is a good way to look at it, bam!

ps. Their food bowl is a quiche dish. :p

[Q8bunny]

My mom has the same one

[Vienna Blue in France]

Im just a tad late to the party too (oops) but glad it is in time to see a quiche dish!
Cunning plan for food dish. I wonder if my bunnies’ jaws would be able to tip that over?
So glad Rumball fought the nasty nice vaccine. He has just turned from a petrol bunny into a diesel bunny….

[Azerane]

Aww, super cute Rumball bum I’m very glad to hear that he has improved.

[LBJ10]

Squee!!!

[Hazel]

Hi there, Jersey!

So glad to see Rumball is doing better! He looks pretty content there.

[Bam]

Hi Hazel!!

[RabbitPam]

Rumball looks so cute there

That poo burst looks familiar…..

[jerseygirl]

Haha! It took me a while to find it. Naughty me, I forgot to credit you! Ive remedied that.

[Hazel]

Hey bam!

How’s Rumball doing now?

[RabbitPam]

JG, thank you, but you didn’t have to do that.
I was seeing it and thinking it looked familiar, then I realized I had drawn it myself years ago! LOL
