This does not sound like a reaction to a distemper vaccine (DHLP/Parvo). A true reaction to a distemper vaccine would be swelling occurring within 5-10 minutes of receiving the vaccine. The vaccine is always given under the loose skin on the neck area. This sounds like something entirely different and you should take your pet into your Veterinarian as soon as possible. Again a true anaphlyatic reaction would be swelling within 5-10 minutes of giving the vaccine and that is usually caused from the Lepto part of the vaccine. When you have the next vaccine, ask your Vet to leave out the lepto part if the dog has had a true anaphlyatic reaction. Please have your dog checked out immediately by your Veterinarian.
