I will no longer give more than one vaccine in a day because each one demands an immune response and that is a lot on the body. It is also almost impossible to tell what vaccine caused a reaction if one would happen.

I know you want your furkid protected from lepto but there are so many strains that one vaccine will not do that. Lepto vaccines only last for 6-9 months on average. There is a high reaction rate and Yorkies have died from it. This vaccine should only be given where the problem. I think a human would get lepto from contaminated water faster than from their pet. I also am not sure that lepto vaccine prevents transmission.
