  I just spoke with our Vet this Monday about this very thing,, after being told by another vet office where i WAS going to take the girls for grooming but backed out,, they demanded it be given first,, i refused,, as i'd been researching vaccines online,, and after speaking with our vet whom i trust and know he loves our little girls,,he does not vaccinate for Lepto,, too risky, not worth the risk,, unless some few big ranch dogs,, he said Fort Dodge (vaccine maker) says,, dogs get it in this area by stepping in urine of a coyote, raccoon or possum,,then licking their feet,, or licking the urine itself off the ground or out of a mud puddle where one has urinated, ,so,, NO risk for my girls,, and the vaccine itself was causing lots of problems,,allergic reaction type,, in his smaller patients,,,made them whelp up,, have to be brought back in,, given benadryl,, he then changed to a different brand vaccine and no longer has this problem,, so he doesnt vaccinate for Lepto and we wont with our girls |
