Sorry to hear about Lola's shoulders. Is the bump where the shot was? If so, then it's normal for some pups. It's like a knot. If it's not where the shot was, then just call your vet and ask about it. More likely a no biggie. Good Luck
I just went through the same thing with Bella and it was her rabies shot. I did call the vet and he did want to see her and he confirmed that it was her rabies shot. A week later it was gone.
Likely is is fronm the rabies shot ( not uncommon) and will go away over time. Just keep an eye out.. Missy is 10 years old and many shots over the years.. just once a 'bump" got rather "nasty looking"..

She’ll stay with Belle and me till her forever family is fixed (the shelter is currently reviewing 2 families). Within a week or fortnight they should have a family.
She gets along very well with Belle, but she’s scared of me. When I give...
Question about heartworm preventive medicine? Anyone on here not using heartguard or interceptor etc and just going with all natural products? I am trying to decide if I should give my 17 week old puppy heartguard or interceptor or just trying to go the all natural route. What are your thoughts?
