My dog is trembling and sleepy after vaccinations. Is this normal?

Dog got vaccinations on the 5th.. Has yeast on skin so used anti-itch spray last night... She began trembling non-stop unless asleep this morning. No other symptoms except sleepiness.... What should I do if anything?

Vaccines can cause a lot of soreness which may cause her to tremble. It’s also possible this is unrelated but trembling generally indicates pain or anxiety. If you are more suspicious of a medical cause, I recommend to have Sis see her veterinarian again who will try to pin point the source of pain and can provide medications to help her feel better. I hope she starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
