My dog is not herself and yelping after rabies shot. What's wrong?

Question

I have an 8 year old female Yorkie. She got a rabies shot last Friday but is yelping when we pick her up. I feel like it is her right hind leg that is bothering her. She just doesnt seem like herself. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 8 years and 3 months old | 6.8 lbs

Hello. Any vaccine can cause some residual pain, so it is possible that this is what is bothering Harlie. However, it could be something totally unrelated to the vaccine, & perhaps it is best to contact your veterinarian & have her evaluated. She may have injured a joint or muscle, or even her back. Your veterinarian can try to isolate where the pain is coming from & decide if any further treatment is needed. Good luck & thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
