Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | 1 year and 6 months old | 45 lbs
Hi, my 1 y/o golden retriever, Arya, just had her 5-1 shots, deworming and anti rabies 5days ago. I noticed that she became very weak, lost her appetite and she whimpers a lot. Today she's been frequently peeing small amount of urine with blood in it. I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me about these symptoms. Should I worry? Are these symptoms expected after vaccination?

I'm so sorry to hear the Arya is not doing well. The most common side effects that we see after vaccination are sore soreness and lethargy. It sounds like Arya had a more severe reaction than that. Blood in the urine is not a normal side effect of vaccination, so I would recommend contacting your vet and having her evaluated. Good luck! I hope that was helpful.
