| seizure in 1lb yorkie my 13 week old 1pound yorkie had a rabies shot and vaccine yesterday at 3pm. He seemed fine all last night, ate a little and I gave nutrical. He seemed sleepy but ok this morning but at 9am I walked by the playpen and he was having a seizure. I gave nutrical and rushed him to the vet. He was only here 2 hours. They gave him stat and ran blood work and did a fecal. His sister, also the same size had the same thing at the vet and she is fine. He seems mostly ok but is NOT eating. I am giving nutrical and rebound. He likes those and takes them well. is there anything I need to know that the vet didn't tell me? he only said it was low sugar... I would like to hear from anyone who had a similar situation. Last edited by LittlePaws; 12-05-2009 at 01:03 PM. Reason: adding information |

| You need to get him eating something or he will just continue to have the hypoglycemia. Nutrical is just a quick fix

| What vet would give a rabie shot at 13 weeks? I am sorry for you and your little guy, but to answer your question, what you needed to know is that they do not get rabies shots at 1 pound and 13 weeks. I would not go back to that vet. |

| It was a different vet that he went to yesterday. He only gave him half of the shot. He said he HAD to have the shot to fly to his new home. After all this though they are driving the 13 hours here to pick them up. Not until late next week though, He's not going anywhere just yet. Not after this. |

| This is sad I hope your baby is ok, Puppies under 6 months can fly without the rabies shot. You're vet should know this, when I bought my yorkies I was told by the breeders to NOT give the rabies vaccine till at least 5 months of age. My vet didn't give Maddie her's till she was over 2lbs. It is not uncommon to have a reaction to this vaccine even in larger dogs. My 4-5lb yorkie is not tollerent to it at all and has had a reaction both times that he got it. Alot of good vets will also have you give them benadryl before as a precautionery. keep us posted, I really hope that he starts feeling better soon.

| I have never gave a rabies shot to a puppy under six months. Even my older yorkies, I never get their rabies and vaccines all in one visit.

| Oh no! I agree with all the others... your puppy is not required to have a rabies shot to travel at such a young age. If you look half way down this page I think it shows you the schedule. I'm really sorry about your pup getting the seizure - they can be scary. Dr-Dodds-ChangingVaccProtocol

| I don't know about puppies flying w/o the rabies shot as we've never flown, but I'd definitely say that it was risky to give the shot to one so tiny! Sophie had her rabies shot at 4 months old and did fine, so I don't think it is completely ridiculous to give one to a puppy under 6 months which is what seems to be getting several people upset. She weighed over 3 lbs, however, and with yours being so small I don't think the vet did the right thing. Could it be another problem other than the shot? |

| Really? in small breeds that is what is recommended. However, some municipalities require it at a younger age and do not make exceptions for small breeds. I'm afraid if I lived in one of those areas, I would have to take my chances with the law. What are they going to do about it? |
