Our little dog recently got a rabies shot and is having problems. I will be calling the vet this morning.

Oh no.
I’m so very sorry.

Find out which vax she got.

For future reference for all dog people here:

NOBIVAC® 1-Rabies Vaccine for dogs - Merck Animal Health USA
Non-mRNA (traditional) rabies vaccines for dogs are widely available, utilizing killed virus technology to provide immunity. Common, reputable options include Nobivac® 1-Rabies and Nobivac® 3-Rabies (Merck Animal Health), which are inactivated, cell-culture-grown vaccines providing 1- or 3-year protection. These vaccines are non-recombinant and commonly used in veterinary practices.

Key Non-mRNA Rabies Vaccine Options
Nobivac® 1-Rabies & 3-Rabies (Merck): Uses a chemically-inactivated rabies virus, often adjuvanted to enhance the immune response.
RabVac 3 (Boehringer Ingelheim/formerly Pfizer): A killed-virus vaccine labeled for 3-year protection in dogs and cats.
PUREVAX® Rabies (Boehringer Ingelheim): Another option that uses a canarypox vector rather than mRNA technology to express rabies antigens
