I have an appointment to take Kalina to the Vet tonight. This is her second visit but the first one was merely a mandatory visit after I got her to see if she is healthy. Tonight she will get her last puppy shot, something for heartworm prevention, and she is also due to get her Frontline administered. I can do this myself, but I don't have any Frontline right now and thought I might as well get the Vet to do it...if she does that sort of thing. I am totally out of the loop as far as puppies and Vets are concerned - it's been so long.

What I am really concerned about is the Rabies shot. My breeder said to absolutely NOT get the shot for Rabies until she is one year old. I know my Vet will want to give it to her tonight because she is over 3 months. I'm worried because:
1. Too many shots tonight might make her sick.
2. I admire and respect my breeder's opinion.
3. I was reading about how sick Armani got after his Rabies shot!

So, anyone? Advice? When did your puppy get their Rabies shot? Did s/he get other shots at the same time? Was there a reaction? Also, if I wait to get Rabies at a year doesn't that mean I can't take her anywhere where she'll be around other dogs? On the other hand, there isn't any Rabies epidemic that I know of. I AM SO CONFUSED!!

TIA for all your help.
