The vet has been notified and it's been noted on her chart that she is vaccine reactive. They said she will be pre-treated in the future for the sensitivity.You might want to make sure the vet knows this happened. I say that because I did not want to get rabies vaccines for my cats since they are never allowed outside, either. My vet explained that rabies vaccines are required by law and THE VET IS HELD LIABLE for failing to comply. I don't know how anyone would find out, though. She is a great person, though, and did NOT give my cat the rabies vaccine.
If your vet puts this reaction in Suki's medical records, it WOULD be a valid medical reason to not give the vaccine. Then you would be covered, the vet would be covered and any other vet helping out would see and accept it as a valid medical reason to NOT vaccinate.
A friend of mine took her half-grown dog to the vet for the usual exams, and when they gave him the rabies shot he collapsed right there in the office. The vet and techs immediately did everything they could, including CPR, but the dog was gone. The dog's brother (litter mate) had already gotten his shots and was fine. Go figure.
Duke is very LUCKY that you're her dad!!!!!!!![]()
Florida DOES require a rabies vaccine. However, the fee for not having it is $300.
Next year she needs two more vaccines. She may or may not be getting them.
