Just wanted to post about a little incident that happened last week. Bri is just reaching 28 weeks and our vet felt she was finally big enough to get the rabies shot. (Just a little background, she had a really bad reaction to her 2nd puppy shot, so we waited until she was almost 15-16 weeks and 2lbs for the 3rd, which is why our vet found it best to wait for rabies) Not sure why we waited, but I trusted the vet.

Anyways, she got her shot and got a general checkup. Things were great and I was thrilled to be leaving. (I had been there 2 hrs waiting). As soon as we got home her face was completely swollen, she was throwing up, and was having a tough time breathing. She only wanted to be held and was whimpering. I called the vet and rushed back. They took her back and gave her some medicine to control the swelling. We ended up having to wait around 30-45 min after to make sure she got better.

They told us that she obviously is allergic to something in vaccines since this is her 3rd reaction. This was by far the worst of any of the others. The puppy shots didn't cause anything like this. The vet said she'll just need a shot of benadryl before any other shots in the future.

Does anyone have any advice?? Bri is good for another year, so we have a year to prepare for the next shots. But, now i'm worried about her having another reaction.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post!
