Hi thanks for all of the good feedback. She got the shot around her neck around her front right leg. I can't really tell which leg she is limping on. I recall that she limped for 1 day the last time she got a shot, so I am thinking it is just soreness at the injection site.

I don't recall her having lethargy from her 1 year rabies shot, but It feels better to know that others have seen this type of reaction. Of course, if she doesn't rebound tomorrow morning, then I will take her to the vet. She got the shot on Saturday, so since she has been sleeping all day today, she should be regenerated by tomorrow. When I mean all day, she is just sitting here, covered by a blanket, all day. Good thing is she still eats, so as long as she is eating and drinking I feel pretty good.

The vet gave her a little benadryl shot too, but she had that in the past, and it didn't zonk her our for so long. He gave it to her as a pain killer, I guess.
