It's your choice but I'd pass. I had to do CPR on my Lily for over 10 minutes while we drove to the e-vet due to the Lepto shot. Never again. Those were the scariest minutes of my life.

ETA: We waited at the vet's office for over an hour after the shots. She was showing no signs of a reaction. As soon as they gave the shot, I knew something was wrong. Call it Momma's intuition, but she just wasn't acting right. The vet kept checking her out and saying nothing was out of the ordinary. The office finally had to close so we left. Within 30 minutes of getting home, her face swelled up and turned white (all the fur was gone). I started doing CPR while my husband drove to the e-vet. The vet said that another few minutes and her airway would have closed and we would have lost my baby. She was 6 months old at the time. She'll be 3 in July and she hasn't had the shot since (none of my dogs have).
