Subject: Question on vacc reactions and stunted growth

One of my kits recently had a minor reaction to his distemper vacc
(Purevax). This was his second in his initial series. He developed a
fever and lethargy - the "vaccination flu". How likely is it that this
will develop into a full-blown reaction with the next injection?
Should I consider him at-risk now?

This little guy was also very sick for the third month of his life.
The store that sold him thought it was ECE, but that doesn't usually
hit kits this hard. Anyway, I believe because of that, he's now six
months old, but still has the body shape of a kit. He's a good weight -
over 2 pounds - but looks like a big kit. Is it at all likely that he
will ever grow into an adult shape?

Thanks!
