Default Old dog lump?

Yes. The vet expected to see cells particular to a rabies
vaccination reaction, not those indicating an infection.

I'm going to be very interested in reading updates. RVs
are often thought to trigger other stuff (not saying that
there's any stuff!) and the correlation doesn't seem to be
understood enough.


It was an infection caused by a reaction to the rabies
vaccination. The vet will be refunding the cost of the
examination and lab fees.

All three of my dogs have had some sort of reaction to
vaccinations - this was Friday's 7th or 8th RV and the first
time I've noticed a reaction.


Because of those reactions your dogs qualify for an exemption from
rabies vaccinations. They never have to have that shot ever again.

And they shouldn't. It could quite possibly be fatal.
