My main reason for joining this forum is because my wife and I just got another Yorkie about 5 weeks ago and at the age of 9 weeks we took him to get his second set of puppy shots. The breeder had already taken him for his first set. Unfortunately we have had complications after the second set. Choowie, now seems to have neurological issues. He spins in place constantly and only clockwise. He doesnt seem to be in any pain and he eats fine. He spins so much he has a hard time moving around the house. Has anyone else experienced anything similiar to this after vaccinations. I can move this to another section after this intro. Thanks.

P.S. The vet also told us he could use Frontline and they supplied it for us. He was 1.8 pounds when the vet supplied and said it was ok.
A couple of things you've mentioned worry me. Going in for 2nd set of shot at 9 weeks of age when it should have been his first innoculation. At 1.8 pounds innoculations should be given hesitantly, waiting until two pounds. I question your vet recommending Frontline at such a young age and low weight. Your vet should have recommended 1/2 dose.

Does he walk normally at anytime? If the spinning is constant, I suggest that you find another vet, a specialist and contact the breeder. I do hope that you had a guarantee.
