And you can search the forum for lots of information about shots and what is or is not needed.
But as stated by renaultf1, rabies is a state required shot. Dogs get one as a puppy and then need another at 1 yr. After that it depends on your state, most are every 3yrs., but some (and some counties within a state) are every year
Got a shot today and she keeps crying…
-
i took my baby in to a new vet today to get a lymes booster and a dhhp (i think) and he put the shots in both side of her hips (like a little fatty part of her upper back? usually they vet puts a shot in the top of her neck….
its gotten swollen and she YELPS and cries if i try to pick her up.... the vet said wait until tomorrow and she if shes still crying....
has anyone had this before? is this normal? should i give her Tylenol or something?
-
This is not normal and if your vet won't see her then call another vet. It sounds like she is having a reaction to one of the vaccines.
Do NOT give Tylenol, it is not safe for pets.
-
I guess, I should have said, some tenderness and swelling is normal but she shouldn't be crying in pain and if the swelling is really noticeable that is not normal either.
-
ill call them
-
And also, that is a large amount of shots at one time?…. always better to have them spaced out instead of giving them all at one time.... (regardless what your Vet might tell you)

Like 2 weeks, correct?
-
i dont know why i ever trust those vets…. its so hard to find a good one!

I'm always suspicious about strange reactions to vaccines. As Ivoss says swelling etc could be just normal but pain is not. I hope that she is back to normal by now. I not and your vet is not cooperative - get another professional opinion.

Yup. Never hurts to get a 2nd opinion.
