| **Worried about Vet Visit/Vaccines** Hello everyone I took my sammy today to get the rest of his vaccines and the Vet suggested he gets 2 at the same time??? I was like... Is it safe he said sure it is. My sammy is going to be 13 weeks do you people think it was safe for him to get the 2 shots in the same day??? He seems good he is playing around and all Anyone think this was bad? At what age should the Rabbies be given? Thanks! |

| It depends on which two were given together and how he reacted as well as the amount of serum the vet gave and your pup's weight. I only do one at a time because I'm paranoid!! In MI rabies isn't given till 6 months, but each state has different requirements.

| Brissy got two together. One of them was rabies. She was fine. My vet said that if she was going to have a reaction to the lepto (the one that is the scariest) she would have it before she left the vets office. I have trusted this vet for almost 20 years. |

| Ive had 50/50 luck I have 2 boys, same age (brothers) ... one is 8lbs and the other 5lbs... when they were small (13 weeks) they got 1 vac at a time. A year later they went again and they got 2 vacs at the same time. One boy did fine... the other had an allergic reaction. I called the emergency vet, they told me to give him 2 mls of childrens benedryl ... I did and he was fine! It was scarey, but the emergency vet told me that symptoms occur within 4 hours... (dont know if that is true or not) but if hes fine in the first 4 hours he'll be fine after that. good luck with your baby! |

| From everything I have read, it seems it is better to do them seperatly. |

| Ive never heard of give them two shots at one time. Ive never had it done. And i dont think their are set rules for rabies shots but it is prefered they get them alone and after 6 months. |

| For many years now I haven't gotten their rabies whenever they're given the other shots. I don't care what the vets say. For years I have gotten them separately. Some have reactions. Some don't. However, when they get older and more debilitated they are very likely to show a reaction and I won't risk it. I saw it happen once and it was fatal.
