I feel so horrible! I guess I take for granted Molli is usually my 'healthy one'. Chibi is usually sensitive to vaccines but one Benadryl and he is fine, Molli has been getting Benadryl for 3 days now!
I'm taking her in to the vet today- my poor baby!

If it is on her right side, it may not be a hot spot. Sometimes they lose hair where the rabies injection is given. It is a common reaction. It actually stays that way....I have a yorkie with a bare spot from a past rabies injection.

Oh noes- I hope its not permanent! It's hard to see under all her cottony coat but still

We saw the vet and got some prednisone and some ointment to put on the spot she was chewing on, she also got a cone of shame to wear until she stops being so itchy. Poor baby- I feel so bad, I should have split them up. I don't know what I was thinking, didn't help the vet made me feel guilty about it too

At least she seems a little bit perkier after her first dose of meds- still not eating dry food though but she is scarfing down wet- is this normal

Im just now seeing this! I can not imagine Molli NOT being happy. Poor baby I hope that she is feeling much better tomarrow. I will be keeping Molli and Mommie in my thoughts.

I know! It was horrible! But luckily today I woke up to kisses and waggy puppy tails and she is back to scarfing her food like normal

Thanks for all the help you guys! I hate seeing Molli sad because she is such a happy dog, I learned my lesson for sure, even the strongest of yorkies can be sensitive

you can do a vaccination titer// I have to do that with my female Papillion. but my vet does separate the vaccinations for morgan

Thanks so much you guys! I was freaking out. Can always count on YT to talk you off the edge of going crazy

Molli is much better- it's hard to say if the spot where the rabies was given will be a permanent 'scar' or not but luckily she's got plenty of fluffy fur to cover it up

ChibiLuv · 06-26-2013, 08:40 PM

Spoke too soon! Ok so she feels better but her vaccine spot looks horrible!
@ladyjane- when your yorkie had the reaction did it get all....road rashy almost??
I didn't really see before because her cottony coat is so thick, I only saw a little bit of it and the hair around it was all stuck, I tried to shave it a bit but I could tell it hurt her- I put a warm wash cloth on it and now I can see the area or injury is a HUGE circle on her but (like an inch I think- she wont really let me look at it) I thought we were out of the woods because she felt better

I have never had it happen to any of mine. I got them after it had happened! It is just a bare spot...and yes, about 1" in diameter. I have seen it on a few of my fosters. One of my pups has one. Usually you really cannot see them until you are blow drying their hair.

ChibiLuv · 06-27-2013, 06:52 AM

I shaved it as close as I could to get a better look. This picture is right after I put the ointment they told me to use on it. The hard part is I am not sure if this looks better or worse because before her hair was all matted on the area so I really couldn't see how bad it was. Is this normal?! Any one else see a rabies vaccine reaction look like this??? What should I do? Keep an eye on it? Rush her back to the vet??

I had this happen. I even took Cinders in thinking she had ringworm! She didn't it was a reaction to frontline or the rabies shot. I personally think it was frontline, but Cinders isn't telling me...LOL! Her hair grew back, I can't find the place where she was bald at now!

ok so I am really bad at updating- sorry, promise to work on that in the future (which hopefully isn't any sick/emergencies too soon).
Molli is doing much better, you really have to look close to even see the spot. I am even having her tested to be a therapy dog soon- I found a company that will accept titers on the Rabies vaccine. I don't know yet what the future will hold for Molli and the Rabies vaccine, I rather not ever give it again but if the county or something makes me I will make sure it is given at an actual vet hospital and she is pre-benadryl'd and maybe even stays in their care for a while after. I never want to see her go through that again!
I learned my lesson for sure- just because I can get vaccines for cheap at work does not mean I should. I rather pay more and have my dog not get sick!
And no matter what the medical people tell you SPACE your vaccines apart!
Well now I know and I will be a better more cautious mommy from now on.
