You are correct in finding that your puppy was not vaccinated properly. When vaccines are given too close together the body is unable to produce an adequate immune response and therefore the dog will not have proper immunity. I am sorry that you are going through this with your dog. Once your dog recovers I would recommend restarting his vaccination series so you can ensure that he is properly immunized I hope this helps.
