Yesterday, I was feeding her dinner and a lid fell off the countertop and onto the floor, next to where she was eating. Seconds later, she was pawing at my knees and wanted up. I held her, and since then she shakes and pants, off and on.
I used some anti-anxiety drops that the vet gave me two years ago, as she has separation anxiety. But, she is hardly ever alone so I never used it until today. Within minutes she was very calm, but it only lasted about an hour.
I am going to get her into see my vet tomorrow, but can anyone tell me if they have had this problem, and do you think it is related to her shots that she had a week ago.
Thank you so much.

Hi,
I have a male yorkie, Cody, who turned 13 years old in January. He has always been very happy and chipper. He follows me around like my little baby. I took him in on May 5, 2008 for his rabies shot. He was good until Sunday later in the day when I noticed he did not want to walk. I called my vet on Tuesday morning and spoke to the technician. She said this was a normal reaction for small pets. There is also a swollen spot on his upper left shoulder from the shot. I do have to take him back on May 17th for the balance of his shots. I will have the vet look at him and assess his health condition at that time. I have never had problems with him "shaking". I am sure your little one does not like the vet. My suggestion to you would be to make sure that you are with your pet at all times at while at the vet and ask lots of questions.
Has anyone had any problems with their Yorkie walking after a rabies shot?
