Kronos my puppy Rottweiler was vaccinated with attenuated live DHLPP on the 11th of January 2020. As at today, his temperature is reading at 39.4°C (102.920°F) and Stephanie the adult Rottweiler is reading at 38.8°C (101.840°F). Is Kronos temperature higher because of the vaccination approximately 5 days ago or should I be worried?

Normal dog temperature is 99-102.5. The temperature could be elevated due to activity, excitement, inflammation or infection. Typically a vaccine reaction will happen within 24 hours though 48 hours could be possible. Vaccine side effects can sound very scary but they are rare and the protection they provide against disease is worth the risk for most pets (pets with known vaccine reactions may warrant different protocols by their veterinarian).

I hope this helps.
