Why is my puppy whining after her shots and what vaccines are needed?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 3 months and 22 days old | 25 lbs

Mía had her last vaccines for the year, DHLPP and rabies. She had one in the shoulder and one in the hip, she is also given a Benadryl injunction because she had a reaction to DHPP vaccine. She is whining quite a bit, can it be from the shots? Also, I’m looking into making sure I have all vaccines for her because my vet does not tell me about the ones that are optional. Do you guys recommend these: Lyme disease Parainfluenza? Coronavirus Giardia (she had giardia be4) Canine influenza H3N8

I think the whining could come from the vaccination, but it should resolve in the next 24hours. Parainfluenza vaccination is already included in the DHPPi. The rest of the vaccines are not part of a standard vaccination protocol and I personally do not recommend them unless there is a specific and particular reason.
