When you are vaccinated with anti rabies is it associated with anti tetanus vaccine?

No, the anti-rabies vaccine and the anti-tetanus vaccine are not directly associated; they are separate vaccines targeting different diseases. The anti-rabies vaccine is administered following a potential rabies exposure, while the anti-tetanus vaccine is given to prevent tetanus infection. However, in some cases of animal bites, if the patient's tetanus vaccination status is not up to date, a tetanus booster may be given alongside the rabies vaccine as part of the treatment protocol. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific recommendations.


Why the cat need to be vaccinated?

A kitten requires a series of shots. The first is the feline distemper, sometimes refered to as FVRCP. These are given in a series with 2 shots about 3-4 weeks apart. The FVRCP is repeated annually. Vaccines for feline leukemia and feline aides are important if the cat goes outside. These vaccines are given in a series of 2 to bolster immunity in the the first year, then annually. Rabies is given annually begining at 16 wks old. New recommendations are first shots at 9 weeks old. Rabies after 20 weeks. USE ONLY NON ADJUVANTED rabies. You do not vaccinate for anything (except rabies by law) after the kitten shots. (a series of 2, four weeks apart).

You should contact your veterinarian immediately to let him/her know that your dog had a reaction to the rabies vaccine.

There are some pets that develop allergies against vaccines and they can no longer be vaccinated - your dog may be one of them.
