Too soon for rabies vaccine? My shorkie will get her final puppy shot in 2 weeks just before she's 4 months old. Then I was told to come back in a week for the rabies shot. She's almost 3 pounds. Has anyone had a bad reaction to this vaccine with small dogs like mine? |
At our former vet, Maximo had all of his shots in one day at about the same age as your pup. He did not have a reaction, luckily. Now I separate the rabies vaccine from all others by 3 weeks. I would also wait until a pup is 5 to 6 months old, at least, before doing the rabies. Weight is another consideration. I would not give a 3 pound pup the rabies vacc. That is why it is better to wait. Check out the vaccination schedule info in the library section for more information. |
Tibbs had all his shots done by 16 weeks. |
I thought rabies was not to be given until at least 6 months? Am I right or wrong? |

Thanks I think you are all right. It didn't sit well with me giving her a rabies shot this early. Plus my town gives until 6 months for the vaccine to be given for licensing. |
I don't like the idea of a little one getting a rabies shot too soon. I held out until Zoey was 8 months old. I had her spayed at 9 months so I had to get the shot. Cherie |
