Can rabies vaccine be given to bitches during pregnancy?
Our dog is pregnant and her vaccine date is coming up, so confused whether to give it now or wait. Dont want to do anything that harms the puppies. Has anyone vaccinated their pregnant dog, was it safe?
Actually yaar, vaccinating pregnant pets can be super tricky. My friend's dog was pregnant and the vet told them to delay the rabies shot until after delivery. Better to just check with a proper vet once, don't take any chances.
Because any medical intervention during pregnancy carries risks, please consult a veterinary doctor immediately. Do not administer any vaccine on your own. A professional vet will know the safest option for her and her babies.
Look, it's always risky to vaccinate a pregnant dog. Inactivated rabies vaccine can sometimes be given, but live vaccines are a big no. Take her to a qualified vet instead of guessing, they will guide you safely.
Don't worry, just keep her calm and safe at home for now. Generally, vets avoid giving rabies vaccines during pregnancy unless there is an emergency bite. It is best to call your vet and ask them before doing anything.
I totally understand how much you care for your sweet doggie. She is going to be a mama soon! Please take her to a gentle vet to see if it's safe for her puppies. Sending so much love to her!
Please don't take her to any random clinic. Call a trusted vet and ask if the rabies vaccine is absolutely necessary right now. If it can wait until after she delivers the puppies, that would be much safer and cheaper too.
Oh, your poor fur baby! I completely understand how much we worry about our pets when they are expecting, just like our own kids. Please consult a good vet before giving her any vaccine to make sure she and her puppies stay safe.
