I will tell what I would do -- if this were my baby and they had this kind of reaction to rabies, I would not be getting rabies again.

We had a long conversation about vaccination reactions. One thing she made *very* clear to me was that *any* time your baby has a reaction to a vaccine - the next time they have that vaccine, the body remembers, and the reaction could be much worse, or even life threatening -- so she said to take reactions very seriously. She says it's very realistic for owners to consider not repeating vaccines ever again when there is a reaction.
But like I said, hopefully you have a vet with whom you can discuss all this too  . | this is totally my response, as well...If a human has a reaction to ANY food or drug, it is NEVER given again...why should it be any different for a little tiny yorkie, that weighs a fraction of we do?? |
