Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If it has been 24 hours since the vaccinations, then I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at Macy so that the most appropriate treatment recommendations can be made. If it has not been 24 hours, I would keep an eye on her for now unless she is very lethargic or if there is any swelling or hives I would get her in sooner. If there is no improvement after 24 hours, then take her in to a veterinarian. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
