Must a dog get the 8-in-1 vaccine before rabies vaccine, or can rabies be given directly?
Getting the 8-in-1 before rabies is not absolute; you may give rabies first if the puppy is over three months old and spaced at least a week from other vaccines.

On the way, use a collar to prevent face scratches and infection, and withhold food and water to ease the gut; the vet will treat urgently.
