I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm just saying there is not a huge risk involved.

They can be separated and if the owner and vet want to, go for it.
I personally don't see how splitting into three shots makes a lot of sense in most cases. The pup would have three times the injection sites, three times the preservatives, etc. But that doesn't mean it is wrong. Just personal preference.

I suppose OP could hold off til dog is older and hope for some weight gain, but that isn't without risks either.
That is up to the op to decide and her vet we need to provide her all options so she can make the choice not us because if something happens that is her choice and her vets choice. The adjuvuncts are the problem on the lepto vaccine not on the splitting of the parvo distemper. I will confirm with Jean but i believe it is 2 vaccines not 3

and i would not hold off as puppies need their puppy shots for protection but discuss this with the vet. I just want you to be aware op you have options but not all vets carry the separated vaccines ours does thank goodness
