He has not eaten since yesterday and only drank water once.I just tries to get him from under the bed and he growled at me.I don't know what to do. He may have been sick when he got the shot. I am sixty and on limited income so I can't afford the emergency room. What can I do?
If he has not eaten or had any water in 24 hours, he is probably dehydrated. Dehydration causes electrolyte imbalances which is very serious and can cause cardiac arrest. It sounds like he also had a reaction to being given multiple vaccinations at the same time.

He needs to be seen by a vet. Will your son and his wife help you with the cost?
