Behavior

Puppy got shot earlier today. Totally fine this morning and later this evening went into a crying mess which was unnormal for him. I brought him into my room on my bed and he literally hid inside my pillow case and didn’t want to come out. When I would cal his name he would wag his tail so not scared but he is breathing super heavy. Not sure if reaction to shot but something seems wrong
Shots?

Thank you for using our service.
Considering the history and symptoms you mentioned, your dog's symptoms are likely to be vaccine hypersensitivity reaction. The main symptoms of vaccine reactions include facial swelling, fever, urticaria, and pruritus. And rarely, difficulty breathing or shock can occur. An overreaction in the form of increased bronchial discharge and broncho-constriction can cause breathing difficulties(rapid respiratory rate) and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening. Therefore, please take him to the animal hospital for first aid as soon as possible.
