Puppy Vaccinations

My GSD puppy was given a C3 vaccination by his breeder. Last weekend he got another C3 vaccination and was also given a Kennel Cough injection.

He got his needles at 9:30am on the Saturday morning and spend most of the day sleeping. At about 12:30 that night he started vomiting. He vomited once, I took him outside, spent some time with him, cleaned up his crate and then about 30 to 40 minutes later I put him back to bed. He probably wasn't in his crate for 15 minutes and he vomited again. Basically this went on for the next 6 hours.

During the following day he slept all day (only getting up when I took him outside to toilet) but wasn't throwing up at all. That afternoon he was better.

It would have been about 1am when he started throwing up again and it continued for the rest of the night.

During this time his colour was still good, he was drinking but not as much as normal, he was still pooing normally (nothing runny etc).

I took him to the vet on the Monday - he had a bit of a temperature and had lost about 0.7kg (since the Saturday morning). The vet gave him an inject to stop the vomiting and antibiotic injection (Metomide & Moxylan) and 10 Cephalexin tablets (twice a day). Within 24 hours he was completely back to normal.

Now - does this sound like a reaction to the C3 & Kennel Cough vaccinations? The vet didn't think it was and thought it was more likely a tummy bug.

He is due for his 3rd needle in about 3 weeks - should be go ahead with his final puppy vaccination?
