Today my vet wanted to give Bella her rabies vac at 13 weeks, he said u can give it after 12. But I know that I've read a hundred times that the average age for it is 16 weeks. He gave her her second distemperment vac & a pain med. He told me she would be quite tired/drowsy from this & prolly wouldn't eat tonight. I questioned him about the rabies vac, so then he said that we'd better hold off till next time because he didn't know how she would react to both vaccines. Honestly, I'm glad he did & I'm glad I spoke up because she's so sick. She's shivering nonstop, I dressed her in a fleece hoodie & I'm cuddling her and she's still shivering. She's very out of it, she has zero energy. I hope this is normal?? He said she'd be tired & prolly not want to eat.
Also, isn't it 16 weeks? I don't think she could handle both vaccines at once, this reaction shes having is scary.
