Can a distemper vaccination lead to aggression/shivering?

My 5 1/2 month maltese got a distemper vaccination this afternoon and was acting normally until about an hour ago. We fed him dinner, let him go to the bathroom and put him in his crate for about an hour. He whimpered for awhile and then he settled down. When we let him out, he started to bite and whimper when I picked him up, and he seemed scared and was shivering. He's relaxed right now, but he's still shivering. Could this be a result of the shot? This is not normal behavior for him.

Distemper vaccination is the most common cause of neurologic disease, and can cause an inflammation of the brain...if your dog is not better in the morning call your Vet immediately...his injection site will be sore for a while so watch where you touch or pick him up

I think you should ask this in the dog's section...lol

Yes, just like humans, animals can have reactions to vaccines that range anywhere from mild to severs.

Generally reactions to vaccines are mild and pass. If you do not see a noticable improvment within 24 hours fromt he time of the shot call your pets vet and speak to someone there about whether they feel it is serious enough to bring your dog in..
