Re: Allergy to rabies vaccine
Just out of curiousity, how did your vet come to that conclusion exactly?

Re: Allergy to rabies vaccine
From a quick google search, it seems this is more common than you think, and with a wide range of symptoms. It is possible to get an exemption from rabies vaccinations. Ask your vet about that.

After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

You may be able to get an exemption, but also may have to provide titer testing results if you want to get a license, depending on your state/local law.

Welcome to the forum!
I don't think that reactivity to vaccines is uncommon at all. Most vets either write a litter to appease the local municipality or give a Dexamethazone/Benedryl combo to prevent reactions.
