Hello. It is not unusual for a puppy to feel a little unwell after receiving vaccinations, but these reactions rarely require treatment. Most symptoms will pass in 12-24 hours. If Baxter is otherwise feeling OK, or sleeping quietly, then leave him be. But if the vomiting is intractable, or he develops any diarrhea, quits eating & becomes significantly lethargic please see your veterinarian as soon as possible.

Your dog may have been having a vaccine reaction. If he is acting normal now then there is nothing you need to do. If however, he is still acting unusual you should have him checked out just in case. It is also important to let your vet know of this possible reaction so steps can be taken in the future to help prevent them. I hope this helps.

Sometimes vaccinations can make dogs feel a bit nauseous, even the stress of going in can make them sick. I would with old his food for 12 hours. If he has not settled by then or starts to look very ill take him to the vet.

It's very unlikely that he got her first set of shots as she is too young for that, even if she did it would not be effective at this age. you need to take him to the vet in order to get the vomiting checked and treated, it could be a viral infection (most likely) and he might need antibiotics and fluid therapy.
