She also had a little reaction to the dissolvable stitches that caused her long incision to look like a lumpy bumpy swollen mess. Thankfully she is doing great now and her incision is healing nicely and flattening out but she had a longer recovery then most.
I am now terrified she is going to have a bad reaction to the rabies vaccine. Will she really be given the same amount they would give a Great Dane...Sophie is 4 pounds and only just turning 7 months old. That is just crazy.
I just applied her monthly Advantage Multi 10 last night - will that being in her system effect her? (Unfortunately I have only now just read about not giving the rabies vaccine with other boosters, meds, etc.)
Has anyone here on YT had a puppy not do well with isoflurane but then had the rabies vaccine with no adverse reactions?
Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. |
My vet confirmed that yes the Rabie Vaccine dosage is the same for all dogs. Yazmin also weighs less than 5 lbs. and had a bad reaction with a previous 1 yr. booster shot so I chose not to give her the 1 yr. rabie vaccine. It's not a law in my state.
She also had her first dose of Advantage Multi last week because Intercepter is no longer available and had a bad reaction for 3 days!
I personally wouldn't advise giving these medications so closely together.
