This is what the OP said was on her vet statement for shots given and the vet did confirm that the lepto was given:
BORDETELLA, DHLP/PARVO/CORONA

DHLP is Distemper, Hepatisis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza

For some reason many vets in our area give the lepto shot to all puppies, regardless of size. Personally, I think it is unethical. Can you imagine a tiny 1 lb 6 oz puppy getting that many shots at one time. No wonder she had a severe reaction.
