The lepto vaccine is a very controversial issue. Obviously it is a dangerous disease but it is a dangerous vaccine to Yorkies. Some lepto vaccines even have to be given twice a year. This is really between you and your vet but I will just say, one lepto vaccine (although it doesn't protect against all strains) is too much, so two would be out of the question for me.
Lethargy, depression and inappetance can be side effects.
Throat closure and shock are the serious ones.
These should happen within a half hour but I would be very cautious for 48 hours.
If all symptoms aren't gone by about 3 days, back to the vet...
Just because of what Ellie went through with the lepto vaccine, I will not give it to Yorkies anymore (for now at least). I am taking a risk though. It is a huge risk either way.
