Bumps around my chihuahua's body

We noticed this morning a big bump on the throat of our three year old chihuahua, kinda reddish but we just ignored it. This evening, when we got back home, there are a lot more of little bumps on her body, on both sides. She scratches her throat once in a while but not her sides. We're wondering if the rabbies shot she had last Saturday morning has something to do with this. Last year, she was swollen all over her face after she was given rabbies shot. Has any of your dogs experience the same thing? Is this something we should worry about? It's already 10 p.m. and we don't know where we can take her to get treated. Please advise.

You need to tell your vet about this so they can take the appropriate precautions with her next rabies vaccine.

She may have hives, or another type of raction to the vaccine (or something else entirely).

If she still has them, take pictures and bring her as well in so the vet can let you know if it's something to worry about or not, and be sure you remind the vet before her next shot.
