Who else gives rabies shots? Do yours have reactions? Have any recommendations?
We vaccinate all of our horses annually for rabies. The vet needs to give it here, but that's OK with me, as I get the vet to give all my vaccinations.
My core group of annual vaccines includes rabies, WNV, Eastern/Western Encephalitis, and Tetanus. We give these separately. I have never had a horse react to the rabies vaccine. One time one horse reacted to the EE/WEE/Tetanus shot. But the vaccine that I've had horses most often have a local reaction to is the Flu/Rhino, so I give that one only to horses who are going off farm and prefer to do it intra-nasal if possible. If IN is not possible then the vet gives some banamine at the time of injection hopefully to head off any pain/swelling.
