My 9.5lbs JackChi had her immunization shots yesterday (DA2PP, Lepto and Bordetella). It's been almost 24 hours and she's still pretty lethargic and not her usual self, shaking a little bit too. This hasn't been the case for her the last couple years with shots. Is there any action I should take or just continue to wait this out?

Hello!   I'm not aware which company's vaccine your vet used, but most clients report that thei pet was either fine, or possibly 'a bit quiet' after a shot.  Any common side effects will be listed in the data-sheet, which you vet - and their emergency team if they're now closed - will retain a copy of.  Other possibilities are that your dog has been hit unusually hard by the vaccine, or is ill with something else (the stress of going to the vets can make underlying problems more prominent), or that this is a behavioural effect of the vaccine, or a combination of the above. Whenever unexpected signs are seen, particularly after a vaccine, it's a good idea to speak to the vets to let them know, and for triage (prioritisation as in, how soon does this patient need to see a vet). Best of luck and please let us know

Hello!   I'm not aware which vaccine company was used, but most companies expect patients to either be normal or a little bit quiet after a vaccination shot.  Any common side-effects will be listed in the data-sheet, which your vet will retain a copy of.  It remains possible that your pet has been hit particularly hard by the vaccine, or is ill with something else, or that this is a behavioural response.  Whichever, it's a good idea to let your veterinary team know that it is happening, in order that they can choose a course of action going forward and reexamine or treat your pet if they feel that it is necessary.   Best of luck.
