I am not sure if it was just the rabies shot that did this to her (she didn't have any reaction to the first set) or any combination there of.
So I was wondering if there was anything I can do to help her through this faster and/or with more ease?  I know what to do to help my kids through theirs, but not for the puppy.
Thanks for any suggestions,

I would have your vet separate the shots, meaning don't do them all at one time. Vaccine reactions are scary, and can get worse, so your vet def. needs to know about this reaction. Please make sure they aren't giving a lepto shot, it can be deadly in small dogs and I don't think AZ has a lepto problem.
I forgot to add- my vet always gives them a shot of benadryl prior to a vaccine, to reduce any possible reaction and minimize discomfort. The benadryl also makes them sleepy so they can rest the remainder of the day.
