He has no symptoms, and I will find out in a few days if he needs antibiotics. He is exhausted from the vet visit.

my dog has allergy issue and has reacted badly to many medicines. Like flea and tick preventative. She does all right with rabies but we have had so many aweful and expensive issues that we really don't want to chance any we don't have to do. Given that we stay away from the wild areas (which sucks because this dog loves to play and I would love to bring her to one)

That's probably more of a reason to get her vaccinated. Those topical flea and tick meds are rough. We got our cat vaccinated even though she was 100% indoor because she used to get too sick with topicals and liked to cuddle the dog.

Its something no one who experiences it can make a call on honestly. I hate the food she is on but we don't dare change it. You have to continously pick up the diarea (not for days. for weeks. over a month) and pay the medical bills to understand why. She is alive and doing well currently and we have our heads currently above water.
