I forgot to add - I had previously done the "older" lepto vaccines in both my older dogs and then the new vaccine came out and we did that version. Fortunately, none of my three have ever had a reaction to a vaccine, it is such a non-event. I stopped giving Lepto a few years ago because I did not think the risk was that great but what I learned today was that it is affecting dogs in urban areas and not only those dogs who are outdoors more often. It is often not caught until advanced when there is not much they can do to treat or save the animal. I see raccoons very often so it worries me about risk. I was recently thinking a lot about this and wondering if I should go reconsider my position and start vaccinating again and then this comes up. I'm dealing w/ the immediate issues, then I'll think some more about this.
