I have recently switched to a ferret knowledgeable vet. This vet always adds a little steroid to her purevax vaccine when she gives the distemper shot. She says this helps to eliminate reactions. Have you ever heard of this practice. williams1953@hotmail.com or jody_wllms@yahoo.com

owners a min of 1/2 hour sometimes an hour. It doesn't matter if
they never reacted before. I think the Fervac had even more
reactions but one should always be prepared and err on the side of
caution. Glad your little one is okay now.
