Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If Kane just recently had his first series of vaccinations, this could be an explanation as to why he is not moving around as much. If he is still eating and fine otherwise, I would keep an eye on him for another 24 hours. If he does not perk up or he worsens, then I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
