My dog was vaccinated today and he is red all over is this normal. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 5 years and 5 months old | 9 lbs

No. This isn't normal. I would recommend taking his temp rectally to verify he doesn't have a fever. Then, I would give him a 1/2 of a children's benadryl ( so 6.25 MG total ). If it gets worse, or if hives, vomiting, trouble breathing occur, you would need to take him in right away.
