I ALWAYS do one vaccine at a time! My yorkies (and other small dogs) tend to have vaccine reactions! Einie is the worst extreme reactions, while minnie only get a bit lethargic and a mild fever. Einie gets a bendryl injection 15 min. prior to a vaccine and it has been the only way to help him, he also sometimes gets IV fluids.
I definitely advise to only get one vaccine at a time and wait 2-3 weeks in between It is the best personally, see how your pup reacts to one vaccine, if no problems, then schedule the next one(diffrent one) couple days later, and my vet has said that small dogs should never get more than 2 vaccines at a time.ALso keep childrens liquid benadryl handy in case thier is a reaction. Start at a minimal dose!!!(if needed)But check with your vet first.
