We haven't done the lepto vaccine. Chestermama, where in Washington are you from? It's nice to see fellow Washingtonians on here! :D |
Ziva had a bad reaction to the lepto vaccine. I just skipped it for Abby. |
My dogs have been on it for the past 9 yrs. since my first was old enough to get it. I wouldn't consider discontinuing it for any reason. We live in a subdivision with wooded areas near by. We get possum and racoon in our yard. Plus we go camping a lot so there is a big threat there with contracting the virous. It can be contracted even through the urine or fesses of an infected animal!! "It is a necessity as far as I am concerned" |
We have not had a case of Lepto in southeast Texas in at least 12 years, so we do not get it....most of the vets down here do not give it unless you specifically ask for it. I advise all my buyers NOT to get it, unless it is prevelent in their area, and if they DO get it, have the vet give Benadryl inject. 15 minutes priort to the Lepto, and stick around the vet for at least 20-30 minutes following the injection. Anaphylactic shock /reaction can kill your baby before you even get out of the parking lot at the vet! I was unfortunate enough to see it happen when I worked for a vet. So down here, where the disease is essentially non existant, it is a not even considered by most. |
