Rabies shot and neutering My boy is 5 months old (today!! :2puppy: )... He still needs his rabies vaccine and I'm planning to have him neutered as I see his hormones are already kicking in... Should I do the vaccine first and then the surgery? Like 3 weeks later when he turns 6 months? Or the other way round - which one is better, I know they don't take that vaccine lightly as well. He'll need his tear ducts drained too, very likely... So that goes into his surgery too. |
I would get the rabies shot then the neutering on another day |
When I took Lily in for her spaying they gave her a rabies shot that day too. She did fine. I think she was more sore from the shot than the surgery though, the shots really make them sore. I guess it depends on your vet, ask him/her what they suggest. |
I keep hearing you're not supposed to give any shots, esp rabies under anaesthesia... it takes too much of a toll on their little bodies. I think as long as I space those two enough - let's say 3 weeks or so - it should be fine? Pepper sometimes had a bad reaction to his puppy shots, that's why I'm concerned... |
That should be fine |
yeah, that sounds good. Get the rabies now, then neuter. |
I was going to do the rabies shot at the time of neutering but my breeder said to do them seperated. Peanut got his shot last week and did great not a peep from him and no reaction at all. I have been very lucky, he has not had any reactions. He gets neutered on the 17th of November. We are going to a new vet and she was great. Our old vet would not release him the same day when neutered and I didn't want him to spend the night. |
