Maybe its best to phone the airway's to ask them what you should do. Surely if she's only due for another rabie shot in 4 months time, this should be valid?
I dont know, but sometimes these vet's come up with weird suggestions
I hope this all turns out ok for you! And lets hope there's someone on here that will be able to give you advice on this.
Sorry im not much help, but ill *BUMP* this thread and hoping for the best!
Good luck!
