Hi guys,
I've asked for your advice once before and everything turned out alright, as you said it would.
Now I have another issue with my cat, Maki (8 y.o tom).
I gave him is final vaccinations this September and as expected, he has a lump in the shoulder/neck area at the rabies vaccine site (Biocan R is the vaccine's name).
As I was checking his passport yesterday, I saw that the vaccine that was administered had expired nearly 42 days before the vaccination day.
Is there any risk that the vaccine might not work at all (can't do titer test where I live) and could the lump be a complication of it being expired? The lump was noticeable last week, I checked everyday prior to that and nothing. So nearly 2 weeks after vaccination.
It was late at night last night when I saw that the vaccine was expired (It's been nearly a month since the vaccination, IDK how I never thought to check it prior to this) and I cannot see the vet until tomorrow, so my mind is running through a bunch of scenarios now.
Does anyone have any experience with expired vaccines and how did it turn out?
Thank you!
