Pregnant Scottie

Question
I have a pregnant Scottie who will be 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow. On Friday the 7th the vet went ahead and gave her rabies vac. She has some soft poo now. Today Wednesday 12th i came home and she has potty some kinda gel like but it was poo. There was NO blood at all. She also has been picky with her food tho will still eat my food and treats. What can this be? Vet told me there is an 80% chance she is pregnant and felt two things when she was on her 25th day.

Answer
I don't know if a rabies shot would cause soft stools, but it certainly can be harmful to developing fetuses. Modified-live vaccines should never be given to pregnant bitches.

Yes, bitches can be picky about eating at this time; that is the first indication of pregnancy in most bitches.
