Yes, this is a side effect from a rabies vaccine, not every pet will be effected like this but unfortunately some will....

Dr. Dee Blanco, D.V.M - "You take healthy animals and often very quickly after you vaccinate, you can see simple things like itching of the skin or excessive licking of the paws, sometimes even with no eruptions and licking of the air. We see a lot of epilepsy/seizure, often after a rabies vaccination. Or dogs or cats can become aggressive for several days. Frequently, you'll see urinary tract infections in cats, often within three months after their [annual] vaccination. If you step back, open your mind and heart, you'll start to see patterns of illness post-vaccination."

As rabies vaccines are known to elicit severe and even fatal adverse reactions, and are among the strongest vaccines antigenically and contain potent adjuvants to bolster their immunologic effect, giving them more often than truly needed is unwise, unnecessary, and can be unsafe,“ -Dr. Dodds.

For rabies we often see:
1) Restless nature, suspicion of others, aggression to animals and people
2) Changes in behaviour: aloofness, unaffectionate, desire to roam,
3) OR clingy, separation anxiety, 'velcro dog'
4) Restraining can lead to violent behaviour and self-injury
5) Self-mutilation, tail chewing
6) Voice changes, hoarseness, excessive barking
7) Chronic poor appetite, very finicky


I hope he's feeling better soon.....
