Most of those I have seen with the disease that are critically ill, are small dogs with only backyard exposures.

The latest consensus statement on leptospirosis in dogs from the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine features the latest understanding about the zoonotic disease to help veterinarians care for their canine patients.

Please consider Lepto vaccines for all of your dogs. AAHA and AVMA no longer view it as a big, outdoor dog disease.

Disposable hand warmers contain elemental iron. Once the iron is removed from its plastic packaging and exposed to air, the iron becomes oxidized and heats up. If your pet ingests this part of a disposable hand warmer, it’s likely that they could experience symptoms of an upset stomach.
However, if the hand warmer was unused and ingested by your pet, thermal burns can occur in the stomach and vomiting or diarrhea with blood can be seen. If your dog swallows one of the hand warmers intact, it could also cause an intestinal blockage and require surgery to remove.
Always keep items such as disposable hand warmers up and out of paws’ reach, and when disposing of used items, be sure to make sure your trash is secured to where your pet can’t get into it!
