He's so young. I know my Vet won't even acknowledge or accept the shot being effective if given before 8 weeks of age. Yes, it can be a reaction to the immunization. I always requested that Canyon got a shot of benadryl 20 mins prior to the puppy shot. This will help with any allergic reaction. I also never ever let the vet give Canyon more than one shot at a time. No combo of puppy shot and rabies, etc... The puppys are generally sleepy and not themselves afterwards and I seem to remember Canyon's stools not being too firm. As noted in the above post, make sure that he's eating and drinking water. Please also have nutrical on hand in the event he's not eating to keep his sugar level up since he's so young and I would guess at 7 weeks doesn't weigh a whole lot.

Congrats on the baby.
