What a tragic loss - you're friend must be devastated! I've never heard of a fatal reaction to a rabies shot before, though I've had a few start yelping in the last few years. In the past, it never seemed to bother my dogs. I wonder if they've changed the formula, or if the vet who gave the fatal shot could have somehow shot it into a vein or artery instead of the muscle? Let us know if you find out anything more! I've got some youngsters who are due for their first shots, and a couple of others almost due for their second!

I'll find out who manufactured the shot.

Even with the vet right there doing CPR and giving epi.... (shot to counter reactions sorry don't know the spelling!) she passed away within a hour! She was a year old and this was her first rabies shot. Anja Anja Heibloem-Stroud www.pet-net.net/hausmekon/ Any chance we can find out what brand of shot is was? I would be good to know who made the shot. Pat ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
