My yorkie puppy just received the leptospirosis vaccine today. He is in quite a bit of pain and cannot get comfortable. Is there anything I can do to relieve his pain?

I'm sorry to hear that Moose is uncomfortable after his vaccine. I would recommend contacting his regular veterinarian for a canine anti inflammatory to help with his discomfort if he needs it. Many human medications should not be used for dogs and can have adverse side effects.
