Lepto: rare cases can be asymptomatic, but usually the dog will have a fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea. Lepto is also transmitted through water droplets in grass or standing water. There is a vaccine but it only covers 4 of 100+ strains.

I have to steer my boys away from bird droppings too. Yorkies!

Thanks for the info. He did not seem to have any problems from this fortunately.
