Yes, you can see some swelling in the area where the vaccine was given. I would keep an eye on this area, and if it doesn't go down over the next couple of days or gets larger, I would have Bruno seen by a vet.

Hello. With any injection and with vaccines you can get swelling and inflammation at the site of the injection. I would recommend having Bruno seen if it is sore to the touch. Otherwise you can monitor it for now and if it doesn't go away in a week or two then have it checked by your vet. If Bruno starts acting abnormally I would have it seen as well. Good luck with Bruno.
