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.:)

Carnibest 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.
