In reply to Susan. Hi Susan. Here in Australia, I’ve never seen it though I hear that rabies vaccination does increase the chances. It’s never something we could rule out completely, but definitely very, very rare.

In reply to Mary B. Hi Mary. You raise a good point about changing the brand but not giving up on the process. You also remind me to mention that when it occurs with a particular brand, it is the responsibility of the regulatory authorities (e.g. FDA, APVMA) to monitor how often it is occurring for each particular vaccine and issue recalls when appropriate. Therefore, it’s important that vets report each instance, something that we often don’t find the time to do.

Several years ago, my Jack Russell had a facial reaction (look like a Michelin Tire character) non-airway obstruction issue. My Veternarian used the rabies vaccine made by [ brand name ]. She responded to IV steroids and antihistamine. She did lose hair on the face where the worst of the edema was located. This was a rare side effect with this particular vaccine. Next time, used a different pharmaceutical company.
