I am SO glad I live in Michigan. We have to vaccinate for rabies by 4 months (try to get the vet to agree to wait til 6) and then one year later and then every THREE years. I wouldn't be happy with the every year thing. It makes me so mad when I think that they do not need it every year but are forced to get it. It is not a good vaccine. I think Michigan's law still requires too much.
Now that I am done venting, it is hard to find where lepto is a problem. Ellie's vet's website has info for our area of Michigan. Lepto is a bacteria that you can pick up through infected rodent urine or around farm animals. Slow moving water is a perfect spot for it to thrive. It can effect the kidneys, liver and blood and the disease can be fatal.
