How much do you pay for the combined vaccination?

Just had Buttons vaccinated with the new combined vaccination and my vets charged me £40, just wondering how much other people are paying for this new vacc? He seemed fine afterwards and have been no side effects.

The single vaccs were approx £22 at my vets 3 times a year so The £40 works out cheaper, however my vets want people to take all rabbits once a year for the vaccination and then go back again after 6 months for a health check, but they are unsure yet if this will be free or if you will have to pay the consult fee (currently £26.50) I expect they will charge which means the price will be almost exactly the same but with 2 visits instead of 3.

Personally I will take all my 3 for the vacc and then go back 6 months later for a health check as well whether they charge or not but I can't help feeling that bunnies are loosing out slightly as you will be only getting 2 health checks a year instead of 3 :(

I paid £35 for Max and Paddy, I was slightly annoyed as two weeks earlier I'd taken 9 for the single myxi vac which cost £20 each so they've all got to be done again in six months :(

Most of mine visit the vets more than twice a year as they have dental problems, so they get regular check ups :(

I can quite undeerstand your annoyance with the myxi vaccs :( So my vets charging £40 for 1 bunny to have the combined vacc is quite expensive :( maybe I will mention this to the vet as I have to take Peter & Casper for theirs at the end of July £80 for 2 bunnies to be vaccinated seems excessive to me? although on previous occasions they have given a 10% discount for 2 or more animals vaccinated at the same time but this would still be £72 or £36 per bunny :( I'd better start saving up :(

How much has everyone else paid per bunny for the combined vaccination?

Our vet still has limited stocks of the old vaccine but next time the buns are due it will have to be the new one :( . I was paying £17 per vaccination so seems the new one is dearer.

But, did you not need the others twice a year. You only need this one once.
