Vaccine reaction

Q: My 14 wk, 3 lb Morkie had a DA2PP and Lepto 4 way (combined in one) this afternoon. She didn't even seem to feel it during the actual injection and was fine right after. Now, a few hours later, she's extremely lethargic, shaking, and whines if I touch her anywhere on her body, not just the site of the shot. She seems like she doesn't want to move at all. Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do for her?

A: That type of reaction is usually limited to a couple days. You can give baby aspirin at 5 mg/lb of body weight 2-3 times daily if you need to.
