It's not uncommon for dogs to experience some mild side effects after receiving vaccinations like the Neo Vac DA2. Generally, these reactions are temporary and resolve on their own.
- Mild soreness or swelling at the injection site
- Reduced energy or appetite
- Slight fever or feeling of being "off"
These symptoms are typically short-lived and should subside within a day or two. The reason vaccines can cause these reactions is that they stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight future infections. This is an important part of protecting your dog’s health, even if it sometimes involves temporary discomfort.
If your dog's symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to consult with your veterinarian. For additional support, feel free to book a consultation with a vet through Dial A Vet.
