My dog threw up clear slime after shots. Should I be concerned?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | neutered | 15.5 lbs

Updated: Benny got his annual shots last Saturday, today he’s been throwing up clear slime on and off throughout the day. He’s still eating food and drinking water. Should I be concerned? Update: Benny hasn’t thrown up/spit up any mucus for 3 hours. He’s still eating and acting like his normal crazy self. Should I take him now or keep an eye on him throughout the night?

Hello, thank you for your question. Since Benny seems to be doing much better now and the vomiting has stopped I would recommend continuing to monitor him. If the vomiting begins again or he develops any lethargy or other concerning signs I would recommend having him seen by your veterinarian. Hope this helps, good luck!
