I'm glad that Bella recovered! I'm sure she was just having the normal reaction to vaccination, compounded by the pain medication and hypoglycemia. Unless you have have her outdoors where she could be exposed to rabies, you should wait until she's 4-6 months old for the rabies vaccination, depending on your state's vaccination regulations. I'm pretty sure that my Bella was vaccinated for lepto at the breeder's before I got her, but my regular vet has not recommended lepto vaccination since it's not common where I live. Bella has been healthy since I got her, so I guess she dodged a bullet on adverse reactions to vaccinations. Here is some information on leptospirosis (lepto) for you:
