Now I find that those rules have changed again. They need to haver had their last rabies shot within the last 2 years and it has to be the 2nd one so pups can't go. They mainly relaxed the qwuarantine rules becuse a lot of Hawaii residents wanted to travel with their pets and didn't want to have to quarantine the pets for the required 30 days. It is a long drawn out process and bloodhas to be sent to some lab in Nevada, a whole lot of bother at least 120 days before planned departure. ASll being said, unless they have another rule change or she gets her service dog certification, we won't be going, cuz I won't leave her home. Did that in September for 12 days and it jjust about killed me. At least I knew she was home with her Dad.

Interesting.
I guess Hawaii residents are at an advantage though since they don't have to vaccinate. Then again, they don't have many internists there either so I guess it's give and take.

When I was a new mom and did everything the vet said- no questions asked, I let Roxy get her rabies shot (not along with any other shots though) The next day she had what resembled a blood blister the size of a quarter- which looks reeally big on a small pup. The vet said she may have been bitten by a mosquito.- yeah right! Anyway he lanced it and we had to apply warm compresses to it every two hours and press on it until it went down. Luckily you can't tell where it was now. (underside- near back leg) And the way he gave the injection seemed soo harsh. It was like the needle was dull and he had to force it in. Needless to say, I changed vets after that. I will not get the follow up rabies shot. I will just keep her close at hand when we are out and about. I live in the city anyway and the chances of rabies is very slim. My groomer required shots but has not said anything about updates. If she does, I'll just get a home visiting groomer! That one reaction was enough for me
