It may just be a reaction to the shot. We have 2 jack's and they get tired and lazy the day after. Most likely he'll be a normal hyper jack in no time. But if not soon I'd call the vet and ask, but like I said when we get ours their shots they tend to be lazy that next day. All in all its seems to be a day of rest for us compared to how they are
