Its already rainy day season and one of the very contagious disease is LEPTOSPIROSIS
Leptospirosis in dogs is a bacterial infection that spreads through the bloodstream. Dogs can get leptospirosis from puddles or bodies of water that carry urine from infected wildlife. The bacteria infiltrate a dog's body by burrowing into their skin. Canine leptospirosis can be a serious, life-threatening disease.
How do I know if my dog has leptospirosis?
Your veterinarian will recommend blood work and urine testing. Based on these results, additional testing to confirm a diagnosis is needed such as a PCR test, which looks for DNA of the Leptospira organism, and testing for antibodies. Chest x-rays may be needed to check for a pulmonary hemorrhage.
Can a dog survive leptospirosis?
With correct and aggressive treatment, your dog with leptospirosis has an 80% survival rate, but their kidney or liver function may be permanently impaired. Thus, you must seek veterinary attention for your dog as soon as they start showing leptospirosis signs.
