Default Who knows anything about "throm bo cytopenia"

I just received a call from someone who adopted a puppy from me a couple weeks ago. She is average sized, who left my home at 11 weeks of age, to all appearances healthy and alert - - having had only 1 5-way puppy shot. Her vet recommended that the puppy be given a lepto shot - and she was. I had admonished the lady who adopted my little girl Do Not Give Lepto. The puppy was lethargic, bleeding from her mouth and was taken to the vet days after her 2nd shot. She was sent to a specialist. Now we are being advised that they believe she has an auto immune disorder (noted above), or perhaps is reacting to her 1st shot, which was given while she was with me; or possibly a reaction to a tick. She was given a blood transfusion yesterday, as she had been bleeding internally (from the 2nd shot). Does anyone have any knowledge if this could be a reaction to a Lepto vaccine? Please keep our little girl in your prayers. Thanks.
