This one came highly recommended. Here they will not spay her unless she has a rabies vaccine. So they wanted to give her it when they spay her and I said no I wanted it split up.
We took her in Monday (last week). (This was not something I wanted but what choice do I have if I want her fixed?)
So Yes she is done "Puppy" shots.
They gave her the shot in the right shoulder/neck area. This is where the lump is also. She only had the one shot. (I do not like to vaccine and feel most are not needed)
From what I have read, dogs can have reactions months after the shot. We have been watching her very close for any reaction and thought we were good. But Saturday night she was just screaming when I picked her up.
It was heart breaking to here my baby scream and not know what was wrong.
The Vets are on a "wait a day or two and see".
I am scared to get her fixed now and scared not to. |
anything is possible in medicine. the lump is most likely a reaction to the rabies vaccine then. It will most likely go away. I do not like giving vaccines either and don't give then to my pets anymore. When morgan was spayed she was about 3lbs and 6 months old. She got her rabies vaccine right after the surgery with no problems.
every dog is different and you have to do what you feel comfortable doing regarding vaccine protocol. there is lots of information here on YT about it.
