In July, my vet advised me. that I needed to start Matthew on lepto vaccines because the disease is rising in Arizona wildlife and I walk with him where he could be exposed. Three weeks later my friend Pam's 5 year old Wheaten girl died of lepto, even though she hadn't left her home since she whelped 6 months previously. Pam's vet told her he didn't think it could be lepto because he hadn't seen any in 10 years, but since Dr Littman encouraged the test, he did it and the test was positive. Because there is a good bit of confusion about the disease and vaccines, the SCWTCA asked Dr Littman, who is now retired from the University of Pennsylvania, to present a webinar about the topic. This is important information for all dog owners and everyone is invited, regardless of breed.

****Important Webinar for you and your vet*****
Not only for Wheaten Terriers but for all dog owners. We encourage you to attend this webinar and show your support and appreciation for Dr Littman and Dr Wiley. If you have questions on Lepto, diagnosis and vaccinations please send them to [email protected] and we will submit them to Dr. Littman directly."
In a significant move, veterinary health authorities have updated the core vaccine recommendations for dogs to now include the leptospirosis vaccine. This update is particularly important for dog breeders, who play a crucial role in the health and well-being of future generations of dogs". - Claire Wiley, VMD DACVIM
