"I have an Akita. We adopted her at 7 months had no problems with her. At 1 year we had rabies and anti-venom shots done at her check-up. Within 2 weeks she leaked . After tests, medications, and 3 years of animal diapers we decided to put ACV (2T x 2) in her food. Within 2 weeks time frame she continually got better and now has not had a problem in nearly 5 weeks. I still do occasionally give it to her as the benefits seem to be worth it.

Hope this helps."

"My 10 year old Kelpie recently got a rabies booster and is now leaking urine badly. I am glad to have come across these posts and finding a possible reason. Does anyone know why their dogs started after the rabies shot? What triggers this? Renate"

"Have you asked your vet? It may be caused by a lack of hormones, specifically estrogen, in dogs. Sometimes, OBGYN's prescribe estrogen suppositories for women with incontinence. Ask your vet."

"If I were you, a dog your dog's age, I'd do titer test for the rabies vaccine before giving it... The test will determine the level of protection your dog still has since the last vaccine... You might be surprised to see it's not necessary to repeat it. Get a certificate from the vet to show these results. it is accepted by all in the state of NY, so check with your town ordinance.

good luck, Terry"

"It hadnt occurred to me until I read these messages looking for ideas on why my spayed 3 yr old viszla has begun peeing while sleeping. She had a rabies booster at her annual vet visit a couple of weeks ago. Hope I can find apple cidre vinegar and corn silk."

"David, I buy my ACV from an animal feed supplier. It comes in a gallon container, costs £9.00 and as far as I can see contains the mother also (the cotton woolly stuff that might lead you to think it was off)"

"I have had the same problem with my Sheeba Inu. She is 5 and right after her rabies booster she started leaking urine when she would sit down. Now I notice her bedding is damp in the mornings. My vet says there is no connection and that she needs hormones, but she never had this issue before the vaccine. I am going to try the ACV. Thank you! "

"I just googled the topic of female dog leaking after rabies shot and found this board. Our mini dachshund got a rabies shot a week ago today and all of a sudden leaks urine. She has never done this before and I find it rather suspicious that it happened right after the vaccine. Does this get better and go away on it's own?"

"Do not get a rabies shot or vaccine unless your dog is completely healthy of any illnesses. My dog at 10 years old received a rabies shot and died 8 days later. 3 days after the shot he couldn't walk, eat and starting losing his eye sight. He was a vibrant dog before and this all changed after the shot. We found out he had a mass in his liver and the Dr said since he was sick which he showed no sign prior to the rabies shot he is now anemic since his body is fighting the vaccine in his blood. He could not produce enough red blood cells so we gave him 2 blood transfusion and it didn't help. We brought him back home as they said he had 3 days to live. We wanted to spend the last few days at home and not at the hospital.Please be aware as I have read lots of stories of what a rabies shot can do to your dog if he doesn't need it."

"Please stop vaccinating for rabies at least until you read these articles. We have adopted new laws in MA, and that should sound alarms to other states that have not yet. So long as your dog has had h/h initial first round, a booster at the time of an incident will be enough to reactivate antibodies. Read, read, read; Dr. Will Falconer, DVM, has years of experience solely devoted to educating us about the dangers of the rabies vaccine, among others.
