Should I vaccinate my puppy if she has a leg injury or sprain?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 26 days old | 42.1 lbs

My puppy is scheduled to get her shots done on Saturday, but she got hurt today and I suspect a muscle sprain in the tricep. It got better from this morning, she can actually walk/limp on it now. Would it be okay to vaccinate her even with this injury?

Poor Oka. I would recommend taking her to the vet for her vaccine and allowing your vet to determine if she should be vaccinated. This also will allow the vet to check her leg and make sure everything is okay. Hope that helps
