I'm so sorry. I'll be praying that Barney's test results come back clean with no signs of Lepto.
I've struggled with the decision of whether or not to vaccinate for lepto. My vet and I have had a few lengthy discussions over it. He finally convinced me to give it by telling me what your vet told you - that he has seen so many cases of lepto in our area, and the poor animals are usually too far progressed to be helped by the time they're diagnosed, that he almost refused to vaccinate if I didn't include the lepto. He didn't actually go that far, but I could tell he felt strongly about it, about losing so many innocent pets to this illness. So I vaccinate all of mine.
When will the test results be in? Please give Barney some extra huggins for me.
And hugs for you too,
Bonny
