Not too long ago I saw some intersting postings here about the leptospirosis vaccine causing liver disease and/or symptoms thereof. I'm presently reviewing a set of medical records for a 7 mos old puppy that was vaccinated for lepto at 16 and 20 weeks, at which time she developed occasional tremor like symptoms, sometimes also some vomiting after a long drink of water. BAT taken pre-spay at 24 weeks is 2.2 pre-meal, 52.9 post. Ultrasound taken same day diagnoses large single shunt "appears to connect portal vein & cavdal vena cava (illegible and I'm not med savvy). The breeder was about to write a big check to the puppy owner but seeing lepto on the med record is causing him to hold off just a bit. Any suggestions? Thanks very much!
