| reaction to rabies shot?? Need your help!! What are the signs that your dog is having a reaction to the rabies shot? Peppi is my cocker spaniel. She is 11 years old and got a rabies shot yesterday. In all those years she has never had a reaction to any shot. She was doing fine today, walking around, playing like normal. I just got back and she is now on her bed refusing to move and shivering. I took her temperature and it was 101.8, so no high temperature. I don't know what else it could be besides a reaction to the shot? She has always been so healthy and since this just came on today I am thinking a reaction to the shot, right? I am going to try to give her some benadryl to see if that will help and she doesn't improve soon I will take her in to the vet. Anyone have any suggestions on what this could be or what I can do??

| Normally if they are having a reaction to a vaccine it will show up the same day/within a few hours. In the cases I've seen, there was some facial swelling and vomiting. I hope she's doing better, but if not take her to the vet and update us. |

| Reactions can happen right after, not long after or a long time after. I imagine it is a response to the vaccine. I'd call the vet immediately.
