My dog gained weight after a rabies shot. Is that normal or a concern?

Yes, I would be worried about Max. Weight loss is not generally expected as a reaction to vaccinations nor is it normal. Typical vaccine reactions are vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and facial swelling. I would recommend to call Max's doctor and likely get him in today for an exam to see if the doctor can figure out whats going on. If he has a fever, maybe its an infection? Its hard to say without seeing Max. I hope this helps and that he starts feeling like himself quickly. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Sometimes vaccines can cause dogs to feel a bit groggy, a bit like a person getting their inoculations. However it doesn't tend to be that pronounced. Dogs are very sensitive to new environments and stress so so wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it is down to the changes occurring. Whilst he is eating and drinking normally I wouldn't worry too much. However if he deteriorates or dies not return to his usual self in a few days it would be best to get him examined.

Raw meat could be making her sick. Don't give her raw food or bones. if you can, get her a high quality puppy food. If she is bright and happy and eating and pooping she could be having a growth spurt and that is why she is thin. If she is letgargic or not eating or vomiting then get her to a vet.

This is absolutely no problem. We often vaccinate against rabies more often when dogs need to travel abroad and need to show a particularly high vaccination titer. It is a normal side effect that your dog is a bit tired after the vaccination.

It sounds like she could have had a vaccine reaction as they typically happen soon after being administeted the vaccine. Your vet will likely want to give her injections or steroids and diphenhydramine, and may keep an eye on her to make sure the swelling goes down. In the future she may need pre-medication prior to being vaccinated to avoid another reaction.

The rabies inhection is not the cause of her vaginal bleeding. Most female dogs go into heat twice a year so she would likely be on the way of her second heat. If her vulva is also swollen, then that is the cause of bleeding. If her vulva is not swollen, you should take her to a veterinarian for an exam as she may have a urinary tract infection or a uterine infection

Not entirely normal but sometimes pain at the injection site can occur. Is he limping on the leg the vaccine was given in? If not, then no. If yes, then maybe. Do you feel anything at the site of injection? Best plan is to call your vet so they can make a note in his record that this occurred and discuss with you if pain medication is needed. If the limp is in a different leg then something else is likely causing the limp which require an exam with your vet.
