Is this normal post vaccination behavior or is it something more? He whines and looks really freaked out! Also the first vet I went to had him lined up for another set of boosters in a month but this vet said it was overkill.. What do you guys think? Is he really safe now? Should I worry about any more? Thanks for any help I just don't know what's wrong with him right now
I would keep a close eye on little Benny. If he still seems lethargic and uncomfortable after 24-36 hours, I would bring him back for a follow-up just to be sure.

Did your vet include Leptospirosis in the boosters? "Lepto" is not one of the core vaccines, and I've heard a lot of small dog breeders advice NOT to give it. My breeder did not want me to give "Lepto" to my Yorkies. Some small dogs do not react well with it. I think I've read other postings about Leptospirosis and Yorkies on YT.
