Vomiting after a vaccination is not normal and is a sign of a potentially severe vaccine reaction. It sounds like the vomiting did not occur right after the vaccination, so it may not be related to the vaccination, but vomiting is not considered a normal vaccine reaction. If Cookie continues to vomit, does not eat, or does not seem to feel well, she should be examined by your veterinarian right away. Good luck! I hope Cookie feels better soon.

    I would continue to monitor Cookie for now. You can see some mild vomiting and a fever (which would cause the shivering but so could pain from the injection), but if the vomiting continues, then you need to take her back into the vet immediately. I hope this helps!

    Thank you for submitting your question regarding Toby. Vomiting can indicate a vaccine reaction depending on how close it occurs in relation the vaccination. I recommend contacting his veterinarian. If there is a concern of him having reaction, then it will be recommended that he returns to the clinic for further treatment. If not, he could have experienced car sickness or an upset stomach due to something he ate. If he is coughing, then he may have an upper respiratory infection or have nasal irritation from the Bordetella vaccine. I hope this information helps!
