I look under the fur and there is no redness. it feels harder than fatty tissue, but not as hard as a knot. Do you think b/c she got two shots that's why it is oval in shape and not round?

I called the vet and they said they do swell up and that I need to massage it? But I can't remember if she got her shot on her right side or her left side.

Should I bring her in again, or am I being too paranoid?

We had this happen too and I was so worried! I didnt know for over a week either, then I was petting her and there it was I was freaking out! It is normal and it takes a very long time to go down- like your vet said just massage her, it helps disperse the medicine. It should get smaller and smaller over time, but it took Roxies like 2 months before it was completely gone! I wouldnt worry too much!
