Hi, This is my very first post, I am a new owner of Duchess that was born on April 06 2007 and I took her to the vet for her very first Rabbies shot, and the following day I found a quarter size lump in the same location of where the shot was administered, 4 days later the lump became a nickel size and a week later (now) the size is a dime size. I called the Vet and I insisted to communicate with the Doctor, the Doctor said it is just a reaction and that it will go away in about 6 weeks or so. I then spoke to my sister an RN, she said that the lump is due to wrongfuly administered shot, the Doctor did not administerd the procedure correctly. My sister said that, when she was a student Nurse at school, they were practicing on real oranges, and it is often to make a mistake giving a shot. If the shot given in a crooked way, some of the medicine goes into a 1 or 2 layers of the skin, that liquid stays in between these skins, and eventually it goes away, since skin always reproduces. Another words to make the story short, the lump is due to a human error. The good news is, that to my puppy there is no pain. My sister's concern now, is if the RIGHT DOSE ACTIVE INGREDIENCE is effective into the body of my puppy. I really prefer now to take my puppy to another vet for the same thing, another Rabbies shot, in hopes it is done right. |
