Phaedra is nearly due for her rabies shot, it is the law here and she won't be able to be spayed without it, so I have to get it and I was wondering if there is a certain one(s) to stay away from and what rabies shot do you recommend she has?

Just make sure your vet gives her a Purevax vaccine, it is a non-adjuvanted vaccine, with less risks of reactions and cancer. Also, make sure it is given on the limb (leg), away from the body, not on the scruff.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
PureVax is required annually (though they're working on the 3-year) right now. The old 3-year vaccine runs the risk of sarcoma at the injection site.
