| I am so sorry to hear this. I know that you must be worried. Don't beat yourself up, you did what you thought was best. Even if the test comes up positive, it is a bacteria that can be treated. It is early enough for them to get an antibiotic in him and working.
Lepto is very misunderstood. You do not have to live out in the woods to acquire it. It is not only carried by wild animals, but cats are known carriers. They do not display infection, but their urine carries the bacteria. The new vaccine carriers the 4 most common bacterium. Whenever I get the pups their shot, I stay an extra 40 minutes at the vet just to make sure there are no reactions, plus I give them a steroid before hand.
Keeping both of you in my thoughts and prayers tonight. |
