Lepto and corona are not recommended vaccines. Do not give a combo vaccine that includes anything more than DHPP. I'm assuming your puppy is 10 or 11 weeks now. I would give another set oh dhpp at 14 weeks and 17 or 18 weeks. Because of your babys size I would especially recommend that you wait and give rabies closer to 6 months of age. Do not give rabies with any other vaccine. Finally I don't vaccinate for bordetella but if you will be taking your dog to the groomed or a boarding facility you might consider it.

I definitely reccomend having your puppy bile acid tested. Liver shunt is very common in yorkies and is seen more frequently in tinies as liver shunt often causes failure to grow. I feel like every yorkie should be bile acid tested as a puppy. It is a safe and inexpensive test.
