very common for them to feel unwell after any type of vaccine. don't worry if she doesn't want to eat tonight and just wants to sleep. but if after 24 hours she's not back to normal or she has any facial swelling, prob breathing or her paws or ears are swollen or itchy you neet to call your vet. she's having a vaccine reaction. just keep an eye on her and let her be for the night and all should be well in the morn. good luck and hope this helps

it is normal for a puppy to have a low grade fever, slighjt decrease in energy and decrease in apetite for the first 24 hours after any vaccine. These are all considered a NORMAL vaccine reaction. Things to look for an ABNORMAL reaction are: vommiting, diarreah, facial swelling, lethargy, pail gums, or if any of the normal reactions continue for more than 24 hours. If you notice any of these symptoms get her to a vet asap- even if that means taking her to an emergency clinic. Also, some breeds are more prone to vaccine reactions: chihuahuas, boston terriers, pugs, miniature pinchers and dachsunds. So if your puppy is any of these breeds you may wnat to talk to your vet about premedicating with diphenhydramine before the next round of vaccines. Good luck!

If she loses her appetite for too long, then you should take her in. My puppy started vomiting after her shots. They gave her a liquid medicine that I just shot in her mouth, and it helped.

She should be abck to her normal self in a day or so. Shots can cause them to feel ill, just like you and I after a shot. Just make sure she has access to clean water and she should be fine.

every pet reacts differently to vaccinations. Bad reactions are pretty common. Skin irritation, lethargy, even convulsions!! If she doesnt get her appitite back within the next day, it never hurts to cosult your vet :)

Shot may make puppy sick for a day.

She may lose her appetite for a day or two but it shouldn't last longer than that. If it does call your vet.

If she's not eating by tomorrow, call your vet...it could be more than shot.
