Your vet is correct about the amount given. The rabies shots cannot be adjusted!! Yes, it is the law that all dogs be immunized....if you don't do it and your pup is ever in any type of altercation, Izzy will be taken from you for quarantine. That is not to mention the fact that you simply don't want her to contract rabies...kind of a far stretch but IS possible. As for the lump, that is very common with any injection. As long as it is not looking like it is infected....red and warm to the touch, it is fine and will go away. Infection is highly unlikely after this amount of time.

Sometimes they lose hair at the site of the rabies shot, but that is not necessarily common.

Also, if your vet does not provide emergency services, you could find one who does OR find an Emergency Clinic in your area. I would do that now before you do have an emergency so you know who to call.
