I would get it a month after the dentals, not the same day, as any surgery triggers the immune response same as vaccines do.(not in the exact same way, but it's still the same immune system doing the responding) |
The vaccine and bloodwork is tomorrow...the dental cleaning is 10 days later. I'll be sure to ask my vet if she thinks that is long enough in between. Thanks! |
Good luck! I don't opt to do lepto, as Jackson had a terrible reaction to it as a pup. And he was a big boy too, so it wasn't really size. He was already 6lbs by that point at 12 weeks. It was scary! I thought I was losing him. So we will never do it again. |

I just took Lexie to the vet today for her shots and the vet told me she won't give her the Lepto because she doesn't need it and often small breeds have bad reactions to it. Your vet feels it's necessary so hopefully all goes well |
From my readings I found this: The lepto vaccine does not, unfortunately, cover all strains of the disease. It is also not always effective for all pets, even against the strains of lepto that it does cover. Usually dogs who get a strain of lepto that they have been vaccinated against will get a more mild form of the disease. I personally opted not to give the vaccine. If you do get the vaccine make sure to have it given separately without anything else. Good Luck |
I hope they both do well. Kacee's breeder marked her records to not give lepto and she's never had it. I'll keep them both in my thoughts. It's great you will be able to stay with them all day.:) |
my new puppy got the lepto shot about 2 weeks a go 10 min after shot he was throwing up and his body went limp lucky we were still at the vet when this happened they said his gums where white and they had to trat him right away they gave him a shot to counter act lepto shot . |
We are home now. Both Peyton and Sophia had their blood work done and the Lepto shot about an hour and a half ago. So far so good. We pretreated with the Benedryl, and have been told they can get another dose tonight at 7 pm if needed. They are curled up on my lap at the moment. We are going to take it easy today. Thanks for all the advice and well wishes. We love you all! :) |

Just wondering what is Lepto? I never heard of this shot and my vet has never mentioned it to me. I have never heard anyone talk about this before. |

In the last few years there have been more and more cases of it found in the US. The risk is far to great for me not to have my animals vaccinated against it. Online Pet Questions and Pet Health Articles: Leptospirosis in Dogs |
