Reaction on Rabies Shot!

Another reason to always "separate" shots instead of doing the "whopper" combo of everything at one time. I never give Rabies with any other shots… and I also do not give Lepto or Corona. Other then rabies which legally I can't do and get a rabies certificate, I do give my own shots when due...
I also decided to separate the shots. Mirtillo had his 'normal' shots when he was 9 weeks and 13 weeks and just now his rabies. (6+ months)
He had no reaction to the first two sets of shots. -

Poor pup. My basenji never had a reaction to the rabies but she had a reaction to the K9 Advantix flea and tic meds. She is scratching and shaking very often. Im not going to use it anymore.
I believe another member on here, BDawg, had a problem with Advantix as well. I think her girl Lexi had a really bad reaction to it if I recall. If you do a search, I remember her posting a link about reactions to it in other dogs.

I've never had a dog react to vaccinations, but a close friend has a fox terrier that has reactions every time and has to be on Benadryl a full day before.

Make sure that your veterinarian noted this adverse reaction in Mirtillo's medical record – something very important if he needs to have a medical waiver the next time he is due for a booster.
You might also want to get a 2nd opinion from a homeopathic/holistic veterinarian. You can do an online search for one near you at American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association http://www.holisticvetlist.com/, Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy http://www.theavh.org/referral/index.php .
I hope your boy is doing better.

Yeh, Lexi had a very bad reaction to K9 Advantix. Never ever using that again!
Lexi actually just last had her rabies vaccination. We were told not to leave her alone for the next 12 hours. She didn't have any reaction, but she did throw up once. :(

Hey Janneke.
Will you please keep us informed about your experience with the raw meat diet. BTW, ever heard of the Carnibest frozen raw? Easily available in our countries, not expensive and I read some positive feedback about it.
And keep sending us those great pictures of Mirtillo ! I love them.:)

Greetz from BelgiumCarnibest is great. Our other dog got it, and it was the only thing she really enjoyed (except for an occasional sheep heart ;) )
Mirtillo has taste it when he was younger and LOVED it!I don't think it's really cheap though… 1 kilo = € 3,25 and Mirtillo needs 2 kilos per week.. You can buy 30/70/100 kilo at once and than it's a bit cheaper.. but you need a big fridge :)

Well, isn't this a timely post?
So Lexi had her rabies shot on June 21st. It's now June 28 and I've noticed a lump at the injection site. I called the vet to see what they thought and the nurse said it wasn't uncommon- but if she has no other symptoms, that it would just go away. She's not bothered by the knot on her hip, no vomit or "D"… So I'm hoping it will go down soon. Any opinions on this? -

Lump is very common to a rabies shot… it will go away in a couple of weeks... and could be up to a month...

Wow– that long??
First time she's had a lump.
Is that cause to worry she might have a reaction next time? -

I guess we have been lucky. Roo got his Rabies shot about 3 weeks ago and was fine. We also used Advantix on him with no issues. With the flooding we have had here recently, the Mosquitos have been terrible. We even stopped walking in the park because they are so bad and will swarm on Roo.
