We love our vet and she listens and asks questions and really respects our wishes.

I wasn't aware of thae problem with getting shots ast the same time. Nw I will have to go back and look at the medical records and see how it was done.

I wonder why someone would not get the rabies shot? Please advise.

Rabies isn't very common in some areas and this is the vaccine with the most reactions. A report was released saying that between 2004-2007 there were 10,000 adverse effects reported. Five percent of these were death. Someone that used to be with the FDA estimated that only 1% of reactions are reported. So it is really a scary vaccine. With Ellie's lifestyle, I would love to have the choice not to vaccinate. She is never outside without someone and I think that I have about as much chance of getting it from a wild animal as she does (which is extremely slim).
