Oh I'm so sorry to hear that! That has happened to Lola before and it is NOT FUN for either of us!! Luckily, it is treated easily with antibiotics. I live in an apartment complex and all the dogs go to the bathroom out front on the lawn, and after Lola was diagnosed with it, I heard about 5 other dogs in the complex having it too!! It's extremely contagious obviously. Unfortunately, it's a HUGE mess, and as a previous post said, it must be cleaned and bleached so your little one doesn't get it again. Good luck! I'm sooo sorry to hear that...they have vaccines for it, however, I hear they are not very common and can make your little one's tummy upset. It's up to you though...it's such a nightmare to deal with, it's scary to think it could happen again!! Hope he feels better soon
