I have heard that some vets give the same dose to a dog regardless of size, lets hope not. But I would tell the vet what happened and ask them if they have any ideas. You need to know the answers.  I don't think I would feel good about going back. I think that when I took one of my dogs in and had shots given and they insisted that I allow them to give another rabie shot because " they" did not recognize the 3 year shot. Ever since that my dog has been doing bad. I will never allow anyone to do something to my pet" just because" their office does not recognize the shots or care.
I had one vet almost kill my dog, I never went back.

I don't know what happened to cause this with your dogs.  What a horrible experience.  

I can add, however, that I will never again get periodontal disease vaccination shots for my dogs.  They got so sick - weak, lethargic, not eating, etc. - I thought I would lose two of them.
