Hi Haley,

Did your dog recently get a rabies vaccination in that area?

Accepted Answer

Haley,

I thought so. A lump at the vaccination site is a common side effect. In most cases it will resolve itself in a couple of weeks. If for some reason it does not go away, you would then want to have your vet take a look at it. Most of the time, they do disappear after a week or so. You can read about vaccine reactions here:

Hope this puts your mind at ease.
