I don't get the lepto vaccine. Mine has never had it, but I also realize certain areas of the country do have the concern for lepto more than others. I don't know about your area. That is something you should research. The above poster is correct that rabies shouldn't be given until they are six months of age. Also, when mine gets her shots, she gets her regular shots (minus lepto) and then a couple of weeks or a month later we get her rabies. I wouldn't allow the vet to give the rabies at the same time as the other shots. It is just too much for these little doggies. I don't know, if in your case, it was the combo of the shots with the lepto or the rabies or both, but IMO it is just too much at once for them and they usually have a reaction when so much is given at one time. It has been fatal for some, so I would urge you to do your research and know what you are giving your little one and when.
