I don't know the exact amounts that were used on my 9 year old shitzu-poodle. She weighs only 11 pounds and now is in autoimmune crisis. We are sitting at deaths door with her while she is transfused and getting fluids and steroids.

Just saw all these posts on side affects caused by shots. Here's my story.
I recently moved back to Ireland and in doing so both my dogs, pug girls, had to have rabies shots. Both are around 2 years old. My first dog had her rabies shot as a puppy and about 6 months later had a rabies titer test to comply with regulations to bring her back into Ireland. Weirdly, though she's a perfectly healthy girl she failed the blood test, probably because of the length of time between the shot and the test.So, my only option was to have the shot for her again and the blood test again a month later. This time she passed the test. All seemed well...until 3 months later when she began to lose hair inexplicably from her chest.She was also looking thinner but we had been hiking alot.Still, I took her to the vets about the hair loss and after a overall body check and blood test she was diagnosed as ANAEMIC! I was so shocked, other than the hair loss she was full of energy. In the month that followed the vet tested for everything to determine the cause of the anaemia and make sure her kidneys weren't failing or anything like that. My dog responded, thankfully to all the steroids and various medication but after tests and x-rays there was no answer as to what casued the anaemia. After all this the vet and I came to the conclusion that the 2nd rabies vaccine had been the cause. Funnily I had always suspected it. My dog is fine now, thankfully I could just about afford the treatment for her anaemia, though it left me broke she's okay and I guess thats priceless. However we do plan on travelling again for work purposes and now have to face more probably unecessary boosters.Thats just how the import/export of pets process goes. Luckily no rabies booster but I am fully against uneccessary boosters,unfortunately sometimes they are unavoidable but hopefully this will change and the blood tests that can determine wheter or not dogs need all these shots will become more affordable. :-)

Saturday the 15th, my 4 yr old Norwegian Forest Cat was given a "killed" rabies shot injection. She now is not eating, drinking, walking. I called vet right away and was told she "could of had a blood clot release" or a mild adverse reaction to shot. Her eyes are dilatied, 3 of 4 legs are limp. Vet said I could only watch and wait for this to end, he could do nothing to help her.
I had stopped all rabies vaccines in my cats 3 yrs ago when I started reading about reactions. My vet has always tried to pressure me into getting yearly boosters. This time he said vaccine was changed and safer and I agreed to try it. I have caused this terriable side effect to happen. I can only lay by my sweet "Boots" and hope she is strong enough to pull thru this. All my cats are indoor only and once again will never get another rabies vaccine.

We adopted a moggy calico from a no-kill organization. When we got her, she was ill, and they gave us the medications to treat her. She had had the common vaccinations for kittens. We took her to get the first year rabies shot, and after getting her home she started acting very strange. Eventually she developed difficulty breathing, hot dry nose, stopped responding to touch, and we took her to the emergency clinic at around 1AM. Vet treated her for anaphylactic shock. Since that time, we have noted severe allergies to various things, such as flea bites and certain brands of food (we don't know if it's food coloring, preservatives, or whatever, though). I am going to start her and my male with ACV, because he gets diagnosed with FLUTD every time we take him to the vet, regardless of what we take him in for. They drink out of a pet fountain, but how much ACV should you give cats? Or is it a fairly standardized dose based on dilution with water?

My 7mo old,68lb german shepherd pup,ozzy, had his first rabies vaccine on tuesday afternoon. Later that evening i noticed he was groaning and lethargic. there has been no improvement and the pain seems to have worsened, now he whimpers when i touch him. he is eating and drinking ok, just a slight decrease in appetite noted, but he is voiding adequately. Does anyone have any advice for what i can do for him to help alleviate some of his discomfort or tell me how long this may last? my poor ozzy is obviously miserable.
EC: Please read the advice posts at the top of this section.

Concerning distemper vaccinations, she had already her 3 puppy shots. The vet told me that I should return in 1 year for another distemper that has to be done yearly otherwise she might get distemper which is deadly. How much of this is true? Is her immunity good enough after her puppy shots to not require her entire life any more vaccinations or not. Previously I had another dog that lived to 14 years and she had just her puppy shots for her life.
