I comprehend the significance of having your own sentiment on immunizations and wouldn't dream of attempting to impact others or being accusing of everybody for pet choices I simply feel that there are other individuals to consider when settling on decisions.
Allergic reaction to rabies vaccine ?
-
Thank you Andrea
They´ve realised that one is rarely sufficient we give one and 30 day´s later the second after 120 day´s from the second shot we take a blood test and after that the dog get´s his doggie passport.We then renew the vaccine every 2-3 years.Ok I have to remember to give him an antihistamine before the next shot but could I risk his life and that he get´s an anaphylactic shock.I´m planning to show him in other countries but it´s not worth it if I risk to loose him. -

And they never did after I started giving a antihistamine prior to the shot. Maybe you should talk to your vet, and see what she/he suggests?

Could they use a different manufacture?… Like Andrea, I give all mine antihistamine before rabies shots..
And wow, that seems like over kill to give one, the 30 days later?....
But you should talk to your Vet also about is reaction. -

Yes it seems like overkill I agree but they´ve seen on the blood results that the dog´s wouldn´t be fully vaccinated with one only and as we are one of the few so called rabies free countries in the world .I could risk not being alouded to enter back to sweden and having to put Myran into quarantine for several months.But I will certainly ask my vet. -

Yippee i´m a happy bunny Myran went for his second rabies shot 2 day´s ago and this time no reaction.I don´t know if it was the homeopathic pills my friend who´s a basenji breeder in finland sent me that did the trick or if he just could handle it better this time doesn´t matter as long as he´s fine.Now I can finally sleep without having to be scared

That is great, what kind of pill were they?….
-
Benadryl's generic drug name is diphenhydramine.
-
No, I don't think it was Benadryl… Myran said it was homeopatic.... I use Benadryl now ..... especially before rabies shot....
-
I just mentioned the generic name of Benadryl because Quercus couldn't recall the name. Often drug names are different in foreign countries.
-
No what I gave Myran was Thuja pills(related to the cedar tree)I was supposed to give him 1 immediately after the rabies shot and then one more within the next 24 hrs.And it worked whether it was the thuja or not but he was ok.
But being the skeptic that I am I had cortison pills at home from the vet just incase of a anafylactic rection.
