Our dog, Lily had her Rabies vaccination on Monday 12/14, by Tuesday night she was very lethargic, and all week she just lies there and cries and whines and has a hard time getting up. Once she is up, she seems ok, but definitely not her usual self. She is moving very slowly. She is only 5 and a golden retreiever, normal weight and never has had a reaction to a shot or medication before. Does anyone know if they get better???? What do you do? We are going to the vet today.

My 4 year old Puggle had her rabies shot on Tuesday, noticed she was mellow that night but the next day she was lethargic, sore, wouldn't jump up or down on bed, and had a seizure called the vet they said to just watch her, by thursday she was moving down the stairs slower than normal and by friday when I got home from work she was completely paralyzed from the waist down. The vet that gave her the shot said they were closing early to take her to the animal hosp. Had an x-ray and they said it could be a back disc issue. It has been 2 days $600.00 later and they really dont know. She has no control over her bowel movements, we have to stand her up to pee and squeeze her stomach and as far as pooping, she just goes on herself and we have to clean her up. I just dont undertstand how we had a perfectly healthy dog and after the rabies shot everything went bad and they blame it on a disc. I think the vet hit a nerve or something. If anyone has any advice I would love to hear it.
