Well now I know how the dogs feel.. (vet, stomach, neutered)

...I got my rabies vaccine today
No worries I didn't get bit, but I am a veterinary technology major and its required that we get a series of three pre-exposure rabies vaccines.
Don't worry folks, it doesn't feel too bad, it just aches a little

YOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate needles. Hate, hate, HATE. (Yes, I'm a big baby. I know it.)

But this isn't about me.

Ahem.

You're awesome. I can't wait until you're a full-fledged vet tech because I know that you're going to be the BEST one out there!

[haleybug528]

Awh thanks
I always feel bad cause all the dogs cry for their rabies.At least now I understand their pain .
Plus if I get bit (bad enough to go to the hospital) I dont have to have shots in my stomach and the dog doesn't have to be quarentined

I do however have two shots to go which does not excite me lol.

When I got my pre-exposure rabies vaccine in tech school, Mom got a tag for me from the vet I used to work for.

WHEW!!! I'm glad it was only a rabies shot. I was afraid to open this thread and read you got neutered.

[haleybug528]

No tag yet lol.

But I know everyone in our program has to get one, but it may just be a state thing.

Not neutered yet, well spay for me lol. Although heck i wouldn't mind it, all my kids have four legs anyway
