Sorry this has happened.... most vets nowadays know better than to give small dogs multiple vaccines in one visit. Vaccines are strong and Yorkies are little. One shot at a time separated by 4 weeks. One can overload a Yorkie's immune system by doing too much at one time.

I strongly suggest all Yorkie/small dog owners to READ this (copied & pasted below):

VACCINES - An Overview
Vaccines can seem confusing, but it is one of the most important aspects of protecting your pet's health. While it is important not to under-vaccinate, it is just as important not to over-vaccinate - both scenarios could be dangerous to your dog's health.

In 2003, and again in 2006, The AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) released its new recommendations for the Canine Vaccine Schedule. Unfortunately, all vets still do not follow these recommendations - so it is up to the pet's owner to be sure an appropriate and safe vaccine schedule is being followed.

CORE Vaccines for a canine (should be given to all dogs, unless a medical condition warrants otherwise):

*Distemper
*Hepatitis
*Parvovirus
*Rabies

NON-CORE Vaccines for a canine (should be given only when a dog has risk factors for the disease which exceed the risk of the vaccine):

*Corona
*Leptospirosis
*Lyme
*Bordatella
*Giardia
*Parainfluenza

Links for further education and reading:

Dr. Jean Dodd's (leading vaccine researcher) Vaccine Protocol

Dr. Bob Roger's Vaccine Protocol (almost identical to Dr. Dodd's)

Dr. Paula Terifaj's very informative article and recommendations for vaccines

The 28-page article from the AAHA regarding findings and their vaccine protocol

Wonderful site for understanding durations of immunity, types of immunity, and TITER testing

Summary of Adverse Reactions to Vaccines (both acute and long-term)
