My yorkie Lulu had a serious reaction to Lepto. Shortly after we got in the car from getting the shot she became unresponsive. She was like in a zombie like state. I was scared and the vet gave her something to counteract it. She has had no lasting negative effects from it. I since then will not ever give it to any of my yorkies, now or in the future. However, I have friends who have had no problems. I have not heard or experienced any problems with the rabies. If you choose not to have Lepto just tell them you don't want it but educate yourself or ask them to fill you in on the things to avoid like standing water, etc. It is more prevelent to us not in the city I believe as it can come from the urine of wild animals, I think. I am a little angry that no one at my vets even told me there could be a problem, and at that time I did not know about YorkieTalk to learn from others yet. Hope this helps you at least a little. |
