I just had my 10 yr old cat get a rabies shot,by vet said she had a severe ear infection but gave her the shot anyway. Within minutes she was spinning circles, nystagmus , and went limp, lost all muscle movement . Although after more drugs to keep her alive and a large vet bill she still has eye twitches. And of course exempt from the next rabies shot. I also have another 10yr old cat with a diagnosis of hypercalcemia and weight loss. Due for rabies shot that the vet said he has to have, he is allergic to distemper shot. Who knows what his fate will be. So I feel your pain. What is a person to do. I keep getting told what if a bat flies into your house.

Ah, Kimberly, seizures a very common sequela to rabies vaccinations. Again: nervous system disease, and you can read of convulsions in actual rabies cases. So, a "little bit of the disease" in the vaccine? Yep.
