I am so happy you posted your story. Some dogs may never have a "reaction" but their immune systmes may still be compromised and it is expressed in other ways that we can never prove was as a result of over vaccination but many vets suspect it.

You made another good point too and that is that you should never let the vet give your baby "combo" shots. While it is easier and cheaper and more convenient for them, it is not in the best nterests of your baby...it is hard on them and if their is a reaction you have no way of knowing which vaccine it was that caused the reaction. Always allow only one shot at a time and space them two to three weeks apart according to my vet.
