why did my dog died a week after receiving her anti rabies vaccine shot?

my dog received her anti rabies vaccine shot and after a week i noticed she has difficulty breathing and has nausea with vomitting. Suddenly she just fell on the floor and died. Why? what went wrong?

I am sorry for the loss of you BF. After rabies vaccination, your dog may experience fever, malaise or even life-threatening anaphylactic shot. Non-immediate reactions days or even months after vaccination (called "vaccinosis") include, but are not limited to:

• Aggression or destructive behavior
• Separation anxiety
• Obsessive compulsive behaviors (like chasing tails or licking paws)
• Seizures and epilepsy
• Autoimmune diseases
• Allergies
• Skin problems
• Digestive disorders
• Muscle weakness
• Pica (eating inappropriate materials)
• Fibro carcinomas at the injection site (particularly in cats-see below--but also in dogs)

Strangely few vets warn about these possible adverse effects -- or even admit to the possibility even after they occur. If your pet experiences any of these reactions, REPORT THEM TO YOUR VET.

If your dog is breathing heavy, his face is swelling and eyes watering, and/or he's throwing up, your dog is having a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. CALL YOUR VET IMMEDIATELY! If possible, start for your vet's office, or an emergency facility, and call on the way while some else does the driving.

Important: Make sure your vet records the reaction in detail in your dog's file and get a copy of the file. Put it in a safe place. When the rabies shot is due again, ask your vet to apply for an exemption.
