Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Possible side effects after vaccines include pain at the injection site, lethargy, inappetence and general discomfort. This should subside within 1-2 days. If it does not improve or it worsens, have Missy evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, Missy will likely start feeling better shortly. Good luck and best wishes!
