Puppy got vaccination, and now a bump on his back between his sholders. Could it be cyst? I JUST noticed it.?

Ive had my puppy for about a month and a half hes very healthy, hyper, friendly but this bump i found seems to be the size of a gum drop and i can really grab it. Im not sure if it has anything to do with teh shot he got, or if its cancerious?

Dogs will sometimes get that at the injection site. Its the vaccine sitting there, it hasn't absorbed into the body.





It'll go down in a couple days, nothing to worry about.
Reply:Next time you take him to the vet for vaccinations, have the vet take a look at it. It just may be where he got his last vaccination...if that is true, then it should go down in several days. Don't let it worry you. Best of luck.
Reply:She probably has a "sterile abscess". They are very common. Watch it over the next week. If it gets bigger, take her back to the vet. Otherwise, it'll go away on its own.
Reply:It is probably a reaction from the shot but I would call your vet just to make sure
Reply:It would be very unusual for her to have a cyst but not unheard of. Some dogs are prone to cysts. If this is the site of her injection than I would rather think it's a reaction to the shot. Watch it carefully and if it gets any larger a vet visit is in order.
Reply:Have the vet doctor take a look at it.
Reply:Sometimes after having a shot the dog will have a reaction to the shots and get a lump.Most times it will reduce in size over a week or so and be gone. If it does not go away on its own I would have the vet look at it. There have been incidences of vaccine carcoma and it could be that but most likely it is just a reaction to the shot.
Reply:My dog had one after his first shot - the vet didn't place the needle correctly %26amp; it swelled up and impaired his walking, was sore etc for him we toook him back to the vet they put him on meds till it cleared %26amp; he was fine after


call yor vet
Reply:Often times pets (like people) will show reactions to a vaccination. Signs like: swelling at the injection site, pain at the site, or the animal hiding or not eating for 24 hours afterwords is very common.





Most likely your puppy is experiencing a type of reaction to where the shot was administered. Keep an eye on the site, don't pull at it, and it should go back to normal in a few days as the vaccine takes effect.





If the bump gets bigger, doesn't go away with in a week, or you notice other symptoms like limping, not eating, not playing, pain... then take it back to your veterinarian for an exam.





Again, reactions to vaccinations are normal.

Reply:We were told after our pup got his vaccinations to gently massage the area to help distribute the meds. Could be just a build up. I'd try rubbing it often and see if that helps if its only been within the last couple of days since he got it.
