Someone please tell me its an infected mosquito bite, or something like that. My worst enemy is my imagination !!

Don't worry, the medicine just needs to be absorbed into the body. If it doesn't get rubbed enough right away after the shot they can have a bump for some time. My vet told me this. my husbands minpin had this happen and the bump went away in about a week.
