My puppy is sick after her last vaccine. Is clear fluid an emergency?

Question

My puppy got her last puppy shot yesterday and was a tiny bit sick this morning. It was clear fluid and she seems fine. Don’t want to call my bet’s emergency number if it’s not an emergency. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 5 months old | 16 lbs

Hello, It would be helpful to know what you mean by "sick"- as in possibly coughing, sneezing, vomiting, or diarrhea. I would say, in general, a small amount of fluid loss is likely not an emergency unless it is associated with a change in behavior, like lethargy, or lack of appetite. Signs of a severe allergic reaction to a vaccine that is an emergency are hives and facial swelling or explosive vomiting and diarrhea. I hope this helps.
