He said that the vaccine could've given him a very mild case of distemper with the enamel on his canines being the only sign that he had it. I was very upset. I asked him Rebel was in danger of losing the permanent canines and he said he couldn't really answer that. He said there was always the possibility of him breaking one, but that could happen with any dog. He said all his other teeth are white and fine.

Has anyone every heard of this?
