my maltese used to have this problem...
her face & nostrils became swollen, drinks alot, can't control her bladder, sluggish & blah blah blah...
my vet told me that she is allergic to that particular medicine, & basically, she needs to drink alot (& wee alot everywhere & anywhere) & it'll gradually wears off. for my maltese, it takes about 1 week.
she's ok when she was spayed, other than being drowsy for that particular day...

Are you sure it was just a Distemper shot? Most shots are combination shots, DA2PP. Once a dog has had a reaction to a vaccination, the next reaction would be worse. He should not have anymore. Fortunately, vaccines are good for many, many years. See the Wisconsin University weblinks and then do some research on the net.

The puppies photos can all take transport of on a similar time, yet alot of vets won't supply the rabies shot till a pair weeks after the 1st puppy photos are accomplished as now and returned it may set off a reaction in the puppy. The vet will supply one shot observed as the 5 in one or some use the 7 in one and this covers all illnesses you pronounced different than rabies. some vets supply the bordetella in a seperate shot alongside with the shot that covers parvo and distemper and parifluenza. Alot relies upon on the vet giving the photos, yet a 4 month previous puppy can and could recieve the rabies seperate.

Yes, you should be concerned. Recent research is indicating that dogs do not need distemper vaccines *ever* beyond their puppy shots. Speak to your vet about the necessity of giving further distemper vaccines. Titers can be done regularly instead to make sure the dog is healthy.

That is "Anaflectic" shock, and it can be fatal with some dogs, but not all. Pretty much the same as a bee sting with both people or dogs.
Because I have had a dog with the problem I always keep a couple of "Prednasone" (steroid) pills on hand. Bynidril will work in an emergency in order to get enough time to get to the vet.

Your vet should have already talked with you about this if he needed to go in for an allergic reaction. Depending on the vaccine, there are sometimes alternatives. My mom had a Shitzu that had to take benadryl after each vaccination due to allergic reactions. But Dashchunds, like we have, are not to get a particular vaccine as it can cause them harm.
It might be as simple as giving your dog something to counter act the shot that he's allergic to right before going in to get it. Talk to your vet about your options.
