Todd & Andi Lockhart, The mild vaccine reaction may be the portent of a much more severe reaction on the next vaccination. We almost lost one last month that had a "mild reaction" to a previous shot. Our vet is recommending that they have no further vaccinations if they have even a mild reaction. Your vet may feel differently. Even pre treatment may not guarantee no reaction. The choices seem to be between the possibility of death from distemper or high probability of death from the vaccination. I'd certainly like to hear the opinions of the other vets. Dick B.
