Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes! Injection site granulomas can be seen at the site of vaccination. They are non-painful, moveable but firm and are about the size of a marble at the location of the vaccine. To confirm call your Vet and tell them where it is and ask if a vaccine was given in that location. I have ti most commonly happen with the Rabies vaccine. They do go away on their own with time. Have a great day!
