| Please Help Me!!! Hello everyone I was just informed by my sister that her dog Jazz died today. Jazz is a yorkie. I was also informed that the vet that he went too gave him his rabies shot and groomed him in the same day is this normal. I dont allow my mercedes to get groomed and see the vet in the same day. I told my sister that the vet should not have allowed this to happen all in the same day. Is this normal can you do this. Please help trying to help my sister. |

| No other vaccines should be given on the same day as rabies but I'd say a calm grooming would be just fine. The rabies vaccine can be very hard on some dogs and rarely causes death. Sometimes Benadryl is given before to counter any allergic reactions or after if something goes wrong along with a steroid or something. I'm so sorry.

| I am very sorry for the loss of your sister's Yorkie, Jazz. I am unsure why a rabies vaccine would cause the death ? Was this the only shot? Was the yorkie in good health? The vet did the grooming too? The only thing I am wondering is if this little yorkie became extremely stressed out , and had a heart attack? Was anything else given ? a sedative? Is your sister sure nothing else was administered? This is such a heartbreaking case. I hope there can be more answers as to what exactly caused the death of this precious little yorkie .

| Gosh, I always have Winston get his shots at the same time he is there to see the groomer. I always tell the groomer to be sure and watch him closely for any reactions. I am so very sorry this happened to your sister's Yorkie, Jazz...may he rest in peace. This saddens me...
