i gave my 4, 8 week old puppies shots. on the last one after i gave the shot..in the loose skin of the neck, a few minutes after there was a bubble...im assuming of the liquid from the shot. is this because i didnt go in far enough? or did she have a reaction. i've never had this happen in any of my pups before and i was wondering if it is cause for alarm. please reply :)

It could have been either and reaction or that the needle tip got between layers of tissue. It shouldn't cause a problem. Rub it well and often to encourage it to disperse and absorb. It may take a week or more to go away. don't be too alarmed unless it seems to cause discomfort and then go see the vet.

Did your shot contain leptospirosis?
There are many frequent reactions to this shot. It can take weeks to go away if from that. Some alot more severe. I never vaccinate for this anymore.
Keep an eye on it, because it could also be an infection somewhat like a abscess.

It will dissapate. I would only worry if the pups arent acting normal.
It happens fairly often. If your really concerned take the pups to your vet.
