Changing brands is one way to see if the reaction was caused from preservatives in the Galaxy brand. The other way you could go (after talking with your vet of course) is to vaccinate your little one with individual vaccines instead of combination ones. Several companies make individual Parvo and Distemper vaccines. It's hard to tell what they reacted to with combination vaccines and much easier to tell with the one disease vaccination. However, that would mean more trips to the vet to get all her shots completed. I would talk with your vet and see what he recommends. Just remember to stay at your vet's office for 20-30 minutes after a vaccination just in case they have a reaction, that way you are close for any emergencies. Good luck, I hope everything goes well next time.

I believe she said the reaction was most likely to the binding agent. She said she'd order a different brand next time. I think its best to take the chance and vaccinate rather than the pup catching something. I do trust her 100% but I am nervous. I've never heard of a pup having a reaction before. They said she'd be very sleepy because of the medications given to her for about 12 hours, but within an hour she was up eating and playing and did great through the night.
