I think the shot reaction to vaccines varies from dog to dog. I decided not to give Toby the DH2PP shot this year since I feel his little body is still recovering from the HGE he had back in July 2009. I did give him the rabies shot and a bordetella shot and he was absolutely fine. My maltese Buffy, had a huge knot on her thigh where she had the rabies shot but went away with time. Next time I gave her the rabies, she did not get a knot. But when in doubt do call your bet. I am sure if you describe the symptoms, he will either tell you to watch for additional signs of reaction or bring your fluff in.
