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. |
I believe that you can apply for an exemption to the rabies vaccine due to her reaction.
I don't know if they diagnosed it but there is a condition, cutaneous vasculitis, that it may be. There is another condition but I don't recall the name of it.
You really need to have a discussion with your vet about this and even perhaps with a dermatologist...next time could be much worse. One of my son's dogs had a really bad reaction to one of her shots and her vet has marked her chart and will not vaccinate her again.
