my poor puppy is in pain.....?

my husky pup had his first injection today and a hour later he is yelping when he moves so he is just lying down and breathing fast, i phoned the vet but they said prob just reaction, im having to give him water every so often he can't move, has anyone had the same or know if he will be ok ?

Update:

thankyou, my pup is moving a bit now, he lifted his head but yelped when he put it back down i'll see how he is in a couple hour.

Update 2:

he is walking around now not as lively as usual but looks like its wearing off, Thanks for replies.

    The vet might have hit a muscle if the puppy moved while getting the injection. If he's really in pain I would take him to another vet or an emergency clinic. Vets' are human and can make mistakes.

    Lots of puppies have a reaction to life-saving vaccinations. If your puppy really can't move, take him back to the vet or emergency clinic right now! If he just chooses not to move around much and you're concerned, call your vet again and ask if there is something you can do. Otherwise, just let him rest.

  • Well, if the vet says he'll be okay, your dog will probably be okay. If you're really worried, you can take him in right now so the vet can take a closer look at him.

    So what else did the vet say? Surely he advised you on what to do right?
