Question
Hello I went to the vet today and took my chiwawa for his second set of shots. Later I tried to hold him and he started to cry. I also notice that he is a little swollen from his back I just want to know if this is normal? is he going to be o.k.?

Answer
Yes he will be fine. Usually these subside in a day or so. Next visit tell the vet how sore he was and to use a different spot to inject him. You might also want to give him a small dose of benadryl beforehand.
That will help with any reactions to his vaccinations.
