    best advice i would say is ring the vet who gave her the booster and explain your concerns,
    if the vet is any good he/she will look into it for you. good luck.

    Hey there. This happened before in a collie pup i was fostering, she had a reaction to the shot and was very tender and yelped everytime i picked her up. Almost had a panic attack the first time i heard her cos i thought something was seriously wrong. Is the area where she got the shot swollen? In my pup, it went down after a few hours and she was fine by the following day.

    +1 my guy was the same - he had the shot in the evening and cried when I tried to pick him up that night but he was fine the next day. He had it just before puppy class and was slept thru the class because he was drugged up lol :pac:

    It doesn't sound like a very bad reaction so. I'd give her until tomorrow and see how she is, if she's still sore, then I'd contact the vet
