My little girl is ten, and I am so stressed out when it is time for her rabies shot.
She weighs 5-1/2 lbs, and luckily is not due for that vaccine until 2015.

With her last shot, she lost her hair in the area where the needle was inserted, limped from soreness, and was very lethargic. I always keep her in the office for at least a half an hour after the shot just in case she has an immediate reaction.

I am already losing sleep about the rabies vaccine due 2015. She will be a much older Yorkie by then, and it may be too much for her. I will have a good conversation with the vet before having that done.

Good luck with your fur baby.
