A dog can have a anaphalactic reaction to any shot it receives. Basically they go into shock as a result of the shot. This is not common but if your dog is having a reaction to a shot you should immediately get them back to your veterinarian.
a booster is just an informal name used to refer to the shot that was initially given to your dog a year prior. It can be a distemper or rabies shot or another shot. booster is just your dog needing to be re-vaccinated since most vaccines only last for one year
A healthy adult dog needs a rabies shot every three years, and a distemper shot every 2 to 5years. Over vaccinating can lead to severe reactions and/or cancer.
Yes, if the adult dog was not vaccinated against distemper he can be infected by a sick puppy. If the adult dog has current vaccinations he is not at risk.
no they only get distemper once and ether die or pull on though
You can use distemper in a sentence in a few ways. One way is to use it in a sentence about a dog.

The seven way shot is a vaccine for Parvo, Distemper, Parainfluenza, Hepatitis, and Leptospirosis. You can buy the package and do it yourself at home the pack comes with the dose and the syringe or you can take your dog to a vet and have the veterinarian do it there.
No. Rabies vaccine is just that-a vaccine for rabies. To protect your dog against distemper,parvo and other diseases the dog must also be vaccinated agaist those. Frequently these are given in a combination shot,so your dog only has to get poked once to be protected from up to 7 diseases. Rabies vaccine,however,is always just for rabies.
Rabies,distemper, parvo,and more.
going to a doctor
Dog cannot get distemper from cats. The viruses that cause dog and cat distemper are different from each other so cannot be passed between cats and dogs. There are wild animals such as raccoons that can get both canine and feline distemper and pass it to unvaccinated pets if attacked.
A puppy should get a series of three distemper shots - 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks. These should be boostered at 12 months, so by 16 months of age a dog should have had 4 distemper shots.
