Luckily the allergy is going on his medical charts now, so he'll receive an antihistamine prior to any vaccinations from here on out.
Thank goodness I took off a half day of work to watch him and make sure he didn't have an adverse reaction... |
do you do the rabies every 3 years where you live -- google the rabies challenge fund as they are trying to postpone vaccines for 5 - 7 years -- see if you can get an exemption in your county as I would get that since your dog had a reaction to the vaccine so they do not have to give it again
