Rabies:
Knowledge is Power
Rise above the fear, keep your loved ones safe
An in-depth online course by Dr. Will Falconer
Do You Worry When Her Rabies is Due?
Unless you live in the UK, Australia, NZ, or Hawaii, you've got a rabies "law" breathing down your neck. At first glance, it seems pretty easy to understand and follow.
Rabies is a deadly disease. It's carried by certain rabid carnivores who could bite your pet and give it rabies. If your pet gets rabies and bites you, you could get rabies. So, a law to vaccinate all the pets makes sense, right?
On the surface, sure.
Here's the rub. This is a law...
... that can harm your best friend
Animals regularly get sick (and some even die) from the rabies shot itself.
In fact, in the developed world, the odds of Sadie getting sick from her shot are far greater
than her chance of getting rabies.
Wanda Eastwood writes:
Rosko, my Belgian Shepherd mix was a completely healthy dog.
We'd run agility the day before his rabies shot. Three hours after the vaccination, he started peeing blood. Rushed him to the ER, did 5 transfusions and everything humanly possible to save his sweet 5 vear old life. He died of AIHA (immune mediated hemolytic anemia) inside of 24 hours. It was beyond tragic. So sorry I had to learn my lesson on this sweet guy.
So, not something to take lightly, this law.
But there's more
This is a law
...that ignores well-accepted science
You don’t have to be a scientist to understand this one. You don’t get a smallpox shot repeatedly throughout your life, right?
Why is that? It’s because the scientists who study immune systems know you’re protected from that early one you got as a child. They know about this thing called "duration of immunity."
These scientists know, and have for decades now, that immunity to virus vaccines has a lonngggg duration. Likely life long, they tell us.
So, you don’t get the postcard or email that says,
"C’mon in, you’re DUE for another smallpox vaccine."
Veterinary immunologists know this is true in your pets as well. Virus immunity, rabies included, lasts a long time. It doesn’t run out like a gas tank that needs refilling every year.
Or every three years.
Or, just maybe, ever.
This is also a law that fails
to build more immunity
These immunologists know that giving more shots to your previously vaccinated dog or cat doesn't work. It adds nothing to protect your animal. Your pet's established immunity just stops the vaccine virus cold, like a starship's deflector shield.
These vet immunologists call out this idea of repeated vaccinations throughout life as having "questionable efficacy."
I listen to these experts way more than I listen to Dr. WhiteCoat. I think you should as well.
Why?
Immunologists aren't in the business of selling shots.
They tell us how the immune system works, with no investment in what you do with that information.
Just to recap, not only are more shots a waste of money (they don't add immunity to your already immune animal), each one can potentially plunge your pet into a serious state of illness.
So, no wonder you’re worried about that next rabies shot!
Look what you’re up against:
In order to be a "good citizen," you’re supposed to sacrifice your loved one’s health and the joy that comes from having a healthy vital animal??
What a horrible choice! You need a way out of that win/lose equation and fast.
This is taking a toll on you
Sadie seems healthy enough now, but you see dogs around you who are way too itchy.
Or hyper.
Or even aggressive. Or having seizures or losing their ability to walk.
Or, God forbid, attacking their own blood cells and dying of anemia.
And you’ve heard that rabies shots may well create just such nightmares.
I’ve seen these nightmares, struggled to cure some, shared stories of many more, and I hear regularly about the pain these laws are bringing you and your animals.
A reader named Bob is “two for two" in the Rabies Shot Causing Mayhem Dept:
My present dog is hypothyroid… came down with this autoimmune condition after his last rabies shot!
My previous dog came down with AIHA (autoimmune red blood cell attack) after a rabies booster at age 9. What a nightmare that was… not to mention over $12,000 in vet bills over a four year period and three hospitalizations and transfusions.
I'm not surprised by the conclusion he's drawn:
I will never get another rabies shot for him or any other dog I own.
Amen
What Way Too Many Misunderstand
These laws must be well thought out.
Reality check: nothing could be further from the truth.
They were largely copied from other laws which were copied from other laws in other places, but no one asked the immunologists if they made sense before they put them on their books and made you lose sleep at night as your "due date" gets closer.
No one considered, as they rubber stamped their law into being, this well-known concept of "duration of immunity," the very reason YOU don’t go in every year or three for another small pox shot.
And, if you took my free Rabies Short Course, you saw that these "laws" were instead prompted by greed and profit and power plays way more than honorable intentions to protect animals or people.
You also learned that rabies "laws" are colorable law. Posers. Shams.
Enforcing these laws is in the public interest.
The reality:
Whether they are well-meaning or control freaks, those who demand you keep your animals “up to date” on rabies shots have no idea of the harm they are promoting.
And now, it seems everyone and his sister is trying to enforce these rabies "laws:"
- your groomer
- your kennel
- your vet, who acts like he’s got a sheriff’s badge
- worst: your apartment manager
Do any of these people know enough about immunology to bring this hammer down on you?
Do they know of the damage repeated rabies shots heap on your pets?
Of course not. They are not looking for it, so will never see it.
My vet has my animal's best interests in mind.
In actual fact: profits drive many veterinary decisions, including rabies vaccination.
Even though the veterinary professional groups have proclaimed for decades that annual revaccination is not recommended, 60% of vets continue to push this on you. Google some vet clinics if you doubt that.
When Texas, late to the party, decided to shift from a one year rabies vaccination law to a three year requirement, guess who shouted the loudest against that in our public hearings?
Dr. WhiteCoat, none other.
Because he’d carefully followed the immunology and saw a flaw in the argument of long lasting duration of immunity?
Nothing of the sort.
It was all about "lost revenue."
One announced loudly, "We’ll have to charge 3x as much for a 3 year vaccine as we do now for an annual one!"
Mmm hmm.
What following this "law" is costing you
A bunch of money
Before you know it, you’ve not only paid for a lot of shots you didn’t need, but you’re now back at the vets with a costly illness to fix. That often happens about a month after a round of shots, by the way. Check your vet records or bills to verify that.
Because this new illness is a "chronic" illness (meaning it lasts and lasts), you’re looking at a long term expense for drugs or treatments. Ouch.
Priced Apoquel lately?
Or it’s follow up drug when Apoquel fails to cure The Itch, called Cytopoint?
Yep, both high end costly drugs that never actually cure the maddening allergic itch that often follows vaccination.
And if that unnecessary rabies shot brings you autoimmune disease, you’ll max out every credit card you own going through the heroics in the E.R. and still have a 50% chance of losing your loved one.
Respect
If you’ve studied any of this for some time, you may well know more about rabies and duration of immunity than Dr. WhiteCoat does. He’s still making up stories like, "we’ve got to protect our staff from rabies, so we can’t see your pet unless he’s current on his rabies shots."
Seriously?
If the shots are delayed, say a month, my dog gets rabies and endangers your staff??
It’s quite likely you know more than animal control officials who see their roles as saving the world from unvaccinated dogs and the scourge of rabies.
Have they recently moved here from the Congo and the reality of rabies here in the West hasn’t sunk in yet?
And you damn sure know more about this than any groomer, kennel owner, or apartment manager!
It’s time you got the respect you deserve here and are seen for the knowledgeable resource you truly are.
Happiness
I know you are likely a "love ’em no matter what" sort of person. Animals naturally bring that out in us. And you may place rescue and fostering among those activities that bring you happiness in life.
But I can’t tell you how many stories of loss and heartbreak I read most every day when a happy pet owner had a tragic experience after another unnecessary rabies shot was given.
It slowly dawned on them, often about a month later, that their once happy, bouncy, well balanced pet is now dragging in some way.
Changed. And not for the better.
And it’s not looking like that change is going to leave…
- Frantically chewing her feet or suffocating while chewing her itchy red groin
- Wildly shaking her head and crying when you touch her ears
- Edgy, irritable, even snappy behavior
- Rattling, noisy breathing or worse, rear leg paralysis
- Seizures beginning close on the heels of that last rabies shot
Nothing about this is happy. It’s a situation of a damaged innocent, who’s now suffering, and you suffer along with her, as you seek to help a disease that refuses to give up.
It’s high time for solutions
I applaud you for taking an interest in rabies and the seemingly insurmountable laws you live under. Being well informed can only help you keep your loved ones safe.
If you’re hoping to change these rabies laws as a way out of this danger, you go. Bravo to all who are working in that direction and Godspeed.
But, in the meantime, you need a plan in place to help you prevent the damage that’s entirely possible when that very next rabies shot comes "due."
What the future can look like for you
I have clients and students and readers who've figured this thorny problem out.
They no longer fret about rabies, its nonsensical laws, or "due" dates.
Instead, from a solid base of understanding and some creative examples to follow, they are just living fulfilling lives with their healthy, happy, Vital dogs and cats.
Imagine that.
Imagine smartly OPTING OUT of the no-win equation of "be a good citizen while forfeiting my animal's health.
Imagine KNOWING how to navigate vet visits, groomers, boarding facilities, and nosy
neighbors.
Imagine the day when even a dog bite doesn't rattle you because, from your base of knowledge, you are confidently charting your own wise and safe rabies prevention course.
Imagine joining the smart empowered folks who are getting what they want rather than being a helpless victim of a system that seems arrayed against you and your right to raise healthy animals.
Now, That's Powerful.

I am currently declining all subsequent vaccinations and feel confident in my choice… I have had a lengthy discussion on this with my vet… We have removed all vaccination reminders from my charts…
Enter: Rabies: Knowledge is Power
This course was built to get you solid in your understanding of this disease, its control, and the options you can employ to avoid unnecessary and damaging vaccinations.
It’s comprised of three recorded lessons that give you back the power that your state, province, county, or municipality has taken from you in the dubious push to control a disease by grossly over vaccinating your loved ones.
These lessons each include a presentation from me followed by a Question and Answer session with the students who helped me build this course.
That means you’ll get answers to questions you might not have even considered yet.
Each video recording is accompanied by its audio recording and a full transcript.
That means you can learn in the style that you prefer.
Want to take notes and highlight things while you watch a video?
You can do that.
Want to take a lesson with you on a walk with your dog?
You can do that.
In addition, each core lesson has multiple accompanying written lessons that expand on what you need to know about the disease of rabies, its control, and strategies you can choose to help you avoid the excessive "law" if you so desire.
Don’t be surprised if you end up knowing more than your animal control, your vet tech, and maybe even your version of Dr. WhiteCoat!

Dr Falconer, I just wanted to thank you for a year ago making me stop to think about giving my dog, Lincoln, another rabies vaccine. I did not give him one and I had a titer done this year, plenty of protection.
I also did some routine blood work and found that he has kidney disease. Another vaccine could have made things terribly worse so I just wanted to say, THANK YOU!!!!!!
