My dog's acting a bit strange after his jab

Evening,

I'm posting because I had my dog vaccinated this afternoon. He was fine until this evening, but we've just taken him out and he seemed quite sluggish; he didn't even run around like he normally does and he went up the stairs slowly, whereas he usually charges up them.

Is this normal? Can I take his temperature to see if he's got a fever?

Thanks for any help.

    Hi everyone, I have a little 2-month-old puppy. She had her first jab on Wednesday and today she’s really tired. I think she’s got a temperature and she seems to be in pain as well. Please, can anyone tell me what I should do?

    Yeah, that's normal - mine was exactly the same. Don't tire him out too much, just let him get his strength back.

    It’s completely normal, it just depends on the individual dog. I used to have two dogs, a GSD and a crossbreed. When they got their jabs, the crossbreed was fine and would carry on playing etc., but the GSD wouldn’t move and would run a temperature etc. But by the next day, he was back to his usual self. PS: if he hasn't eaten anything, that’s perfectly normal too.

    I don’t have a dog, but my kitty was completely lethargic for 24 hours after her jab.

    Yeah, dogs are often a bit flat after a jab, they'll be feeling better tomorrow :)

    It can happen that a dog is a bit tired for a short while after a vaccination :)
