I would never give lepto to a toy breed dog unless there was an outbreak in the area. If there is, Fort Dodge makes an individual vaccine that should be given separately weeks apart from the other vaccines, never in a combo shot.
Dogs rarely get a reaction to lepto with the first vaccine. It is usually the second or third shot that triggers the life threatening reaction. so you can't assume that if he didn't have a reaction the first time, it is safe to give lepto. |
