"Two lots of the Proheart were recalled in June of this year."

That was around the time that my dog got her shot.
How can I find out which "lot" was used and what I should watch for, in case she has a delayed reaction?

A call to your veterinarian is warranted to find out about the lots that were recalled. Your veterinarian was "pushing" Proheart in all good conscience, veterinarians don't like to create problems. If he/she is like me, we try to make the care of the animals as efficient and easy as one can. Unfortunately, I am guessing that 90% of the reactions that are listed can be traced to other predisposing causes and because expenditures to diagnose a problem is expensive, the easy route is to blame the drug. I also know that PETA has been after American Home Products/Ft. Dodge since the Premarin episode and a lot of data that is out there is unsubstantiated biased accusation by the PETA folks trying to hurt American Home Products (Quest is one drug for one that got hit by PETA hard). Delayed reactions are rare, if your dog had had a reaction to the Proheart it would have been in the first weeks after the injection according to all I have read and personally observed. I hope this helps some, I know I am going to get bombarded tomorrow at work for the same reason but I have been prepared and knowledgeable about this drug for quite some time.
