Poor California! This certainly could be from the vaccine. I would give her a small amount of childrens liquid Benadryl (see link below - it will calculate to only about 0.5mL since she only weighs 1.5 pounds) and make sure she is drinking and eating. If she is having a lot of diarrhea and/or not eating/drinking, then I would have a vet take a look at her. She is so small that she can easily get dehydrated or even a low blood glucose. I would also make sure you call your vet and tell them she had this reaction. Next time, your vet will likely was to get her a pre-med to help prevent this. Your vet may also recommend to split her vaccines if she is suppose to receive more than one in a day. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/#!
