I've had rabies shots too and they aren't really that bad. A pain in the neck to schedule the gazillion you have to have.
It's worth posting in case it wasn't or someone didn't read it...if your dog is injured in any way by a wild animal, handle your OWN DOG with GLOVES for 24 hours. They are safe from rabies if vaccinated but injuries and their own saliva if they bit the animal will carry the virus for at least that long.
My dog killed a groundhog that was sick, and I dispatched of the groundhog with gloves, than promptly removed it to clean her cuts. Lesson learned.
Oh, the expensive ingredient in the rabies shot is the first shot of the immune globulin. It's a form of human blood plasma with basically hyped-up antibodies. Honestly, it was the highpoint of the shot series for myself. I have a chronic illness in the form of a rare muscular dystrophy. I felt like SUPERWOMAN! It was an energy drink on steroids that lasted three days. My nurses got quite a kick out of me trying to find a way to get that again.
