My dog got boosters, now she's scared. Is she having a miscarriage?

Question

Is my dog having a miscarriage? She went into heat and I haven't had a chance to neuter my boy. I don't know if she is pregnant or not but I went to get her booster shots. It's been a week and she is acting very scared for no reason. She also keeps licking her privates. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature American Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 18 days old | 20 lbs

Depending on what boosters Ruby was given, some of these can be harmful to the fetus. Most vets will not give any vaccines to a pregnant animal regardless of the recommendations of the manufacturers. Of course this does not mean that every time a pregnant animals receives a vaccination they are guaranteed to abort. With respect to her pregnancy, it sounds like if she is pregnant she would be very early along making it extremely difficult to detect positively. The best methods of detecting pregnancy early along are with ultrasound, but I have a feeling even with this method you still may be a couple of weeks out before this becomes an available method of diagnosis. To my knowledge, acting fearful is not a sign of miscarriage so I can not speak to the correlation between the two. I would bring her into the veterinarian in a a couple of weeks to see if they can shed some light on things for you and Ruby.
