The problem is us the clients, we are tollerating these lumps for years and the VET is getting away with it by saying it is a reaction, well it is NOT a reaction, according to experienced RN's This is an epidemic in our VET's across the country, infested with incompetent staff that do NOT have the proper training in administering the shots. I have made an appointment to see Dr. Brown, she is the owner of the Vet Clinic, I will discuss this matter with her, Due to the fact that some injections are successful without a lump, that tells me something. I simply want to investigate the root cause of why sometimes an injection causes a lump and why another injection a year later it does not. At this point my curiosity is groing on me, as to why sometimes there is a lump and why sometimes there is no lump !

My pup went through all the vaccines with no lumps. The only lump he got wa s after the rabies shot. All the shots were administered by the same vet. I hear a lot of dogs are having the 'lump-reaction' to the rabies vaccine and not to the other shots. I believe it's after the rabies shot...
