I wouldn't give it to him. He doesn't need it in my opinion.....

He is in good health but does show signs of slowing up. From many things that I have seen it isn't wise to give an elderly shepherd a rabies shot if he has had his rabies shot every 3 years as required in NYS. I am concerned that the strength of the shot may cause him to deteriorate in his condition. I may be super careful when it comes to shots but I am nervous about this one. He was due on 7/10/10. I am still thinking...please help..I may have no choice but am ignoring it so far.
