My puppy has eye boogers and vomited after shots. Should I worry?

Question

My puppy got her last round of vaccinations this past weekend including the rabies vaccine on Sunday. This week I’ve noticed she’s had more eye boogies than before and today she threw up a little bit and it looked like her food. Should I be concerned?

Since the vaccines were given a few days ago I do not think this is related to the vaccines. The eye drainage could be due to allergies. You could try to give her one adult tablet (25mg) of Benadryl twice a day to see if this helps. If she is squinting or the discharge is yellow or green then I would have your vet look at her to ensure she doesn't need any eye meds. The vomiting can be caused from several things including eating something she shouldn't, a parasite, a GI obstruction, a bacterial/viral infection and much more. Since it was just one time, you can try to withhold her food for 12 hours and then offer a small amount of plain boiled chicken (no bones) and rice to see if this helps. If she continues to vomit then I would see your vet for an exam. Your vet will be able to do a fecal and bloodwork or X-rays if needed. i hope this helps!
