I lost a dearly beloved Beagle in 2002, due to a reaction to a rabies shot. The ironic part is that I had stopped giving her any other vaccinations, as I do not believe in yearly shots.
I give the full puppy shots and then boosters at one year. From then on, my dogs receive a rabies shot every three years. I rarely give the others again. I also give the ponies rabies and tetnus only now; they are fairly isolated and very, very healthy. I did give the new foal Vitamin K & Selenium shots but that is it until she is weaned, at which time she will receive the Tetnus.
Kia has a needle-phobia, so it is just as well she rarely receives one. However, it was rather funny the first time I went for bloodwork; she saw the technician approaching with the syringes, and she was 'outta there'. She has learned since that I am the one getting stuck, but she is still suspicious!
