Bandit got his rabies vaccine today. It was the only thing we had done. We purposely waited until a month after his last set of puppy shots, and it actually has been 6 weeks, since i wanted to wait until he was better from his illness and finished with his meds for that. He is 5.5 months old.
he screamed and yelped when they gave him the shot. He seemed fine for the first 3 or 4 hours after, but then became very lethargic (eyes closing while sitting up). He vomited up everything in his stomach about half an hour ago. I called the vet who said to watch for swelling or redness of skin (like on his belly), and bring him in if that happened. After reading about reactions online, I am worried.
Right now he is sleeping very soundly and deep. I keep checking on him, worried about whether he is still breathing. Has anyone else had a similar experience with the rabies shot? This is the first time I've ever had a dog react to a vaccine except to be a little sleepy for the rest of that day.
