Per Decatur Animal Services - - - What is Lepto and who are the carriers? Lepto is a risk for all types of dogs, all breeds and sizes are at risk. Lepto is the number one infectious cause of acute kidney failure in dogs. Lepto should be considered if your dog has a fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea or lethargy. Early detection is important for a full recovery. Common carriers of this disease are raccoons, skinks, opossums, squirrels and rats. Livestock can also carry the disease. Lepto bacteria can survive for long periods in water and on wet grass!!
Steps to take to help our furry friends from getting Lepto. 1. Remove food, garbage and nesting materials from your yard to minimize wildlife activity. Discourage your dog from drinking standing water. Vaccinate your dog against Leptospiroses!! This annual vaccination is the affordable way to protect your dog from a disease that can be very costly to treat or disastrous if left untreated. Talk to your vet about the yearly vaccination for your pet today!
