- Post-vaccination tiredness is generally normal.
- Monitor for any unusual symptoms like swelling or discomfort.

After receiving vaccines, some puppies may experience mild side effects such as tiredness, slight fever, or a small lump at the injection site. These reactions are often short-lived and resolve within a day or two. Keep an eye on your puppy's behavior for anything out of the ordinary, such as prolonged lethargy, significant swelling, or signs of pain. If any severe symptoms arise or if you are concerned, it's always best to consult a veterinarian.
