Is it safe to travel with my dog immediately after a rabies shot?

Yes, as long as he wil not be exposed to other dogs. The only concern about puppies traveling after vaccines is the risk for vaccine reactions. Most vaccine reactions happen within hours of the vaccine. So if after 2 days, he is not showing any symptoms of reaction (extreme lethardy, vomiting, diarrhea, swelling, hives, difficulty breathing), he will likely be fine.

This is absolutely no problem. We often vaccinate against rabies more often when dogs need to travel abroad and need to show a particularly high vaccination titer. It is a normal side effect that your dog is a bit tired after the vaccination.

Sometimes vaccines can cause dogs to feel a bit groggy, a bit like a person getting their inoculations. However it doesn't tend to be that pronounced. Dogs are very sensitive to new environments and stress so so wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it is down to the changes occurring. Whilst he is eating and drinking normally I wouldn't worry too much. However if he deteriorates or dies not return to his usual self in a few days it would be best to get him examined.

Yes, 7-10 days after final vaccine should be fine to be out and meeting other dogs. Travel sickness generally does improve with time and sitting with him in the car on the driveway with a favorite chew toy etc so he can associate it with a resting place can be very helpful, follow by turning on the engine whilst stationary so he can get used to the vibration and take him on many short joourneys as soon as he is used to it. Natural calming supplements can help and there are prescription anti nausea medications available should you need to go on a long journey before he is ready

The vaccination will be effective and it would't need to be repeated. However, Jap's immune system may be slightly down after vaccination and giving him antibiotics now may weaken his immune system further. Please, get in touch with your vet to make sure that your dog does need a course of oral antibiotics. Please, do not start antibiotic therapy uless you were advised so by your vet.

Arlo might have a little pain at his injection site, or it’s possible that he has some back or neck pain. If you’re not sure exactly where he’s painful I’d recommend making an appointment to see your vet. If you think it’s the injection site you could apply a warm compress and contact your vet to get a prescription a safe pain medication.

Your pet will likely be fine as long as Scooby does not have an vaccine allergy issues. Many vets will try to get dogs on a schedule so that all vaccines are done at once (so clients don’t have to come in multiple times). If you have concerns, please discuss these with your doctor who will understand. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
