Replies on Your Dog Bit Someone and Out of Date on Rabies Vaccine?

Hi Dr Falconer,
I had Sadie's Titers done as you advised. Both the Distemper Virus and the Parvovirus ‘ELISA Panel’ tested Positive therefore she is protected and I don't have to re-vaccinate, Hurray. Unfortunately the Rabies Titer-Response was ‘Less than 0.5 IU/mL’, which is considered unacceptable by the World Health Organization. Even though I know she was vaccinated as a puppy, I don't have any vaccinations records for her. Her previous owner died before I could get them. (I adopted her at 2, she's now 6 and I've never vaccinated her myself) I don’t have the past vaccination record protection for her. Plus, we live in Oak Hill and have Squirrel, Rats and Bunnies, which she chases if she sees them before we do. I know there’s a chance she may still have immunity but I don’t have any protection for her if she were to bite someone. I would like to travel with her and sometimes s**t happens, she’s a dog and dogs bite. I think I’m going to need to Vaccinate her for Rabies, as much as I hate to do it. She’s 8 lbs and I’m worried since I now have a brain-damaged Barney on seizure meds due to his last/3rd Rabies Vaccination.
The Vet that did the titers mentioned preparing Sadie prior to the Rabies Vaccination with Benedryl, and treating her after with a Nosode. What do you think of that plan? Could that be the ‘Rabies Tautode’ that you mentioned in a later post? I’m going to contact you through your Contact page for information about that ‘Rabies Tautode’ but I wanted to post this here for others to read in my situation. If it will protect her then I do want to do that.
I hope this thread is still active.

Hi Doc, I will definitely do the titers and have the paper ammo. So there's really nothing I can do to prepare her before and treat after a vaccination to protect her? Not getting it seems the safest for her Health, but a bite could cost her her life. Avoiding skirmishes is only possible if I never walk them. Unfortunately dogs get out of their yards and it's been my experience that they attack the first dog they see. I've been bitten several times by these dogs trying to get them off my dogs. Dogs bite and Sadie's a dog.
