I also believe in minimal vaccinations. How much does this pup weigh?

She got the Lymes , then in 10 days (4 weeks is preferred interval) she got a Lepto and DHPP. Never give a Lepto vac with any other vaccine, nor give more than one vaccine at a time! In very small dogs, all vaccines should preferably be given 4 weeks apart from each other. The vacs work better this way (able to produce more antibodies) and there's less chance of the pup developing any immune-mediated diseases.

I don't vaccinate for Lymes as it's easily treated with antibiotics. I don't vaccinate for Lepto, Dental dx or Flu, or Giardia. These vacs are too new to the marketplace to be considered safe. Only if I lived in an area where Lepto was prevalent would I consider doing the Lepto vac.

Not A Vet...
