Default "Reaction" to Distemper Vaccine

Before I start this Nala is fine now

Nala is a very tough little pup! She got her distemper 1-year vaccine on Friday and was fine, you could tell it hurt because she opened her mouth, but she's a tough little girl and didn't even cry. The vet said her right shoulder may be a bit sore from the shot. We walked to the vet and she walked back fine. She played the rest of the day and night and even slept with us which is extremely rare, we usually put her in her crate at night-- it was only her 3rd or 4th time sleeping with us. Anytime I touched her shoulder that night, downstairs or upstairs in bed she SHRIEKED like it was the worst pain in the world--that's why I caved and let her sleep with us. The next morning when it was time for potty she couldn't get down the one step from the porch to patio or back up and was very tired. I called the vet because she has never had a reaction to vaccines, and does well with pain, and didn't even respond to the pain from the rabies vaccine. They said since her gums were pink and she was eating and everything I could give her the pain meds from the rabies vaccine I still had. Later that night she was completely fine, but the whole day she was so tired and I've NEVER seen her like that, so I was wondering has anyone ever experienced this??
