External Treatment for Rabies Vaccination Reactions
External treatment may be helpful as well.

If there is infection present at the site of the injection, colloidal silver, goldenseal, or turmeric may be helpful topically.
Advice for Treating Rabies Vaccination Reactions
Carol, from PA used lemon and colloidal silver to deal with vaccination side effects. She writes:
"I now have 2 Old English Sheepdogs who are naturally reared. They are 9 and 10 years old currently and have had no chemicals in or on them, fed a raw diet and have only been to a vet once. They had their puppy shots and that was it until my one dog was diagnosed with a hernia. He had to have an operation and they wouldn't do it until he had a rabies shot. This would be his second vaccination in his lifetime. I was reluctant but knew he needed a repair of his hernia. 2 months after that shot, he developed cysts all around his neck area. Sheepdogs are extremely sensitive to shots of any kind and he did puff up at the injection site. I was told by an herbalist to take a slice of lemon and rub it on the site and the puffiness went away. I then began using Colloidal Silver in drops twice a day on the cysts and in a matter of a week, they burst and were gone and have never returned.
