- VaccinationThe vaccine is known to have the occasional mild side effect, usually related to pain at the injection site or signs of lethargy and a mild fever for 1-2 days post vaccination. An NSAID pain reliever should be OK to give (such as Meloxicam) if this is the case.

- Cancer TreatmentMost Salmonella infections in humans result in a mild, self-limiting illness characterized by diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. However, the infection can spread to the bloodstream, bone marrow or nervous system, leading to severe, and sometimes fatal, illness. Such severe infections are more likely to occurs in infants and in individuals whose immune system is compromised (for instance, bone marrow transplant recipients, persons with diabetes mellitus, persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus, and chemotherapy patients).
- Spaying and NeuteringIn most cases, the answer is an unqualified YES. If you are not planning to breed your rabbit, then spaying or neutering will extend your pet’s lifespan and make your rabbit a better companion for you.
- Laboratory ServicesIn order to help understand the vaccine’s effect on rabbits in our practice, Griffin Exotics has partnered with a laboratory to offer free blood work (a complete blood count and measurement of an acute phase protein) to rabbits that elect to enroll in the study. There will be a limited number of places in this study, but we hope to provide this opportunity to at least 40 rabbits. Enrollment details will follow, but blood will need to be drawn on 4 occasions (at the first vaccine appointment, 1 week later, at the second vaccine appointment, and 3 weeks after that). Results of these tests will be shared with clients after the study is done, unless a significant abnormality is discovered that requires immediate attention.
