I was going to give you my wives tales ways to stop the bleeding, but on second thought, I agree Squinch Feb 2014 #16

I had the shots as a child but did not experience nosebleeds. However, my mind has blocked out the appleannie1 Feb 2014 #8
Oh dear. It could be an unrelated polyp, but I'd call your doc just to reassure yourself. MADem Feb 2014 #9
Call the hospital where you got the shots. MineralMan Feb 2014 #10

Seriously. DU pleaded with her to go to the doctor after getting bit a 2nd time. FSogol Feb 2014 #29
Wait....she got bit twice? Cali_Democrat Feb 2014 #35
Yes, once at night and then again the next morning, IIRC. n/t FSogol Feb 2014 #37
hahaha...what a joke. Now I'm convinced the OP is just playing people. nt Cali_Democrat Feb 2014 #38
I was bitten on the hand Aerows Feb 2014 #41

Aerows, I wouldn't worry if it is a side effect of the shot.. nenagh Feb 2014 #23
Nose bleeds are common... Boudica the Lyoness Feb 2014 #25

I wish I could just lay down and die Aerows Feb 2014 #43

By calling the doctor, you'd get someone who gives a damn AND knows what s/he's talking about. Brickbat Feb 2014 #48
At the very least, call the hospital and ask them if they think you should go to the emergency room. pnwmom Feb 2014 #49
Aerows, you're doing it again! Go to a freaking doctor! Hekate Feb 2014 #46
Your next post BETTER be a report on what happened after you called your doctor pinboy3niner Feb 2014 #51
Or you could just send the Hoot Owl Aerows Feb 2014 #54
Make sure to tell the doctor if you're taking any meds that can cause bleeding, like NSAIDS pnwmom Feb 2014 #55
For the record, it is highly unlikely that any vaccine (let alone rabies vaccine) could do such kestrel91316 Feb 2014 #59
Noooooo....that's not entirely true. Nosebleeds are a side effect of rabies shots, apparently.... MADem Feb 2014 #61
Oh, piffle. I've been in practice for over 30 years and never seen or heard tell of a patient kestrel91316 Feb 2014 #68
Well, you and the other vet are gonna have to agree to disagree, I guess. nt MADem Feb 2014 #69
