Dogs in Russia are dying with symptoms that look like rabies — days after getting vaccinated against rabies
Dog owners in several Russian regions have reported that their pets died or deteriorated sharply after routine rabies vaccinations with Multikan-8. The reports have appeared on social media, on Telegram channels, and in the press.
In several Russian regions, dog owners have noticed that their pets suffered severe symptoms following routine rabies vaccinations with Multikan-8. These symptoms, reported on social media and in the press, included seizures, paralysis, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, and excessive drooling. Some owners noted that the dogs tried to gnaw at the injection site soon after the vaccination.
The reports primarily came from Yaroslavl and other towns in the region, with 20 to 25 dogs reportedly dying as of August 17, 2022. The Yaroslavl news outlet Yarcube confirmed this figure. However, no direct link has been established between the vaccine and the deaths, as the symptoms can also be caused by other illnesses, and laboratory testing of brain tissue is required to confirm rabies.
