Good to hear they are doing better! A couple of mine took a long time to have the swelling dissipate, a month or so if I remember.
I have related triplets that all get a far worst reaction from the rest of my herd, so I think it is true some get it worst than others. I used the colorado serum CDT for them, but regardless I've opted to vaccinate every other year per DVM suggestion. I worked at a small animal vet clinic and we did antibody titers on dogs and cats, there were dogs that only got 2 rabies vaccines ever and showed good immunity in their blood for the rest of their lives (8+ years). The "year" limit on those vaccines is every 3. This is all in small animal medicine but I think there is more interest in evolving there, than in large animal sadly.
Another thought, we had a lepto vaccine at the hospital that specifically caused reactions when it had become too cold at one point. We had a whole tray cause reactions and called the manufacturer, they asked us to check our fridge temp log and that's how we found out.
I hope the Colorado Serum works out better for you next time.
