My dog has new bumps after her rattlesnake vaccine. What now?

Hi. It ,osteoporosis likely is an inflammatory response, and now may be possibly infected. I recommend placing ice on it for 5-7 min a few times over the evening. Call your veterinarian in the morning. I recommend asking your veterinarian to premedicate with benadryl before the next vaccine

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This red bump is not related to the vaccination. It looks like some type of insect bite or wound. It is also possible that it could be a hernia or cyst. I think you should have this lump examined by your veterinarian.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Belle is SOOO cute! I have had a lump form at the site of the Rabies vaccine in some of my patients as well. It is a local pyogranulomatous reaction that is non-painful. It is harmless and will go away. It can take a month or more in some animals. You do not need to do anything expect monitor it. I hope this helps and I wish you and Belle the best!

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It could be any of those things: a localized vaccine reaction, a reaction to her microchip (if she has one), an insect sting.... no way for me to tell you which. Just call your vet to discuss when you can. Take some photos of the lump so that you can maybe send to them so they can decide if you need to bring her in or try some home treatment first.

Hi and thanks for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach this afternoon! If the rash had appeared 24 hours after the vaccines, it is most likely not a reaction to the vaccines. Typically reactions to vaccines are vomiting, diarrhea, hives all over the skin and swelling of the face or paws within 24 hours after vaccine administration. The rash could be caused by a flea allergy especially if the rash is around his tail region and Kilo is not on any flea preventative. Fleas like to hang out around the tail region, so this may be a possibility. It only takes one flea to induce a flea allergy. The rash could also be caused by a bacterial infection which can be common in puppies to have. My advice is to get Kilo on a flea preventative product from your veterinarian and use a mild cleansing cloth around the rash a few times daily. If it doesn't improve in a few days or gets worse, I would see your veterinarian- Kilo may need to receive antibiotics. Thanks so much for posting and best wishes to you!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Anytime a dog is bitten by another dog, especially a bigger dog, prompt evaluation is crucial. I recommend that you have Brownie evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. Usually what you see from the outside is just the tip of the iceberg and more internal wounds are possible. Good luck! I hope she recovers quickly!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry to see that your dog is getting these bumps. Any bump or mass on a dog should be examined by a veterinarian in person. Your vet can perform an exam and a fine-needle aspirate of the mass - where he/she uses a needle and syringe to sample cells from the mass and look at them under a microscope. This way, your veterinarian can determine what type of mass that is and then recommend treatment. I hope this is helpful!
