Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Soreness after vaccines is very common. I would use a cold compress on the areas where she got the vaccines for about 10 minutes at a time every few hours. I would also let her rest and not run around. She should be more comfortable by morning. If not, contact your vet for some anti-inflammatories. Please do not give anything over the counter as most things are not safe for dogs. Good luck and kisses to Lola!
