hope this helps some
I really think it is a dominance issue. If it is rabies reaction, it was minor. It never showed itself again but I will now be more observant when rabies shots are given. She isn't aggressive but seemed to be exercising her "big girl" feelings especially since Dezi was the dominant one when Cassidy came into the picture. But now Cassie is slightly bigger than Dezi and she looks as if she is enjoying this new sense of self. Thanks for all the info.
