My puppy is throwing up and weak after his last shots. Is this normal?

Question

My dog just got the last of his puppy shots and he is throwing up a lot and looks very week and when he got the shots he also had a ear infection which he got medicine for at the vet. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 7 days old | 15 lbs

Vomiting and lethargy after vaccinations is a vaccine reaction. The vomiting is the most concerning. If he only vomited once I wouldn't be overly concerned. If it was more than once he should go back to the vet for treatment. If vomiting is not persisting then the lethargy should resolve in a day or two with no treatment. Please refer to this article: ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/adverse-reactions-to-vaccination/ ) The ear infection is likely unrelated to the vomiting and lethargy. As always, if you are worried you should have him examined now. It is always better to be safe than sorry in these cases.
