Expert Answer

A lump after a dog’s vaccination generally fades in 3 to 5 days. Some dogs develop a lump at the injection site because vaccines are given subcutaneously; if the drug is not absorbed quickly a lump forms, but it usually disappears on its own in 3 to 5 days and the owner need not worry. To speed fading, a warm compress on the spot can help.
