I agree, I would never get the DHPP (or whatever Distemper combo. was given) again. Have to read this? :
The Purdue Vaccination Studies and Auto-antibodies
How old is your Basset? There's a very good chance he doesn't need the vaccines anymore anyway. Benadril or not, I would risk it if it was my dog. As far as the Rabies, I suggest look into a medical waiver too. Your vet should be able to determin which vaccine it was though - vets will always give every single dog a DHPP and Rabies in a specific area on each dog, you said she was licking and chewing at the injection site, which area was it? - her hind end or around the shoulder blades? Tell your vet which area it was and he can tell you which vaccine he gave in that area. If it was the distemper combo., that would be it for me, no more,
ever. The risks are now outweighing any
questionable benefits. Glad she's ok now
