the reason they do most vaccinations in legs and i hate even saying this is because if it causes cancer they can remove the limb sadly. The adjuvuncts in the lepto vaccine will trigger the allergic reaction. Lepto is the one shot that most dogs have a bad reaction to. Also there are so many strains of lepto that this vaccine does not cover them all so your dog is still at risk so i would not recommend lepto and as long as you stay away from still water should be ok.
I had a dentist tell me a dog went lame in leg after dental vaccine in a dog yet she wanted to give my dog this vaccine so we went to another dentist who is against this vaccine as no real proven results and only been around for 2 years and side effect is going lame in leg. It is not uncommon for vaccines to react this way so i would call the manufacturer of the vaccine and find out the side effects as this could be what you are experiencing as well
