Leptospirosis is an infection of Lepto bacteria. Found in the urine of infected mice, rats, racoons, skunks and possums, this bacteria gets excreted into the environment.
Dogs are most often infected by drinking from a
contaminated water source. The bacteria then targets the liver and kidneys, leading to serious illness and sometimes death.
You can prevent infection with an annual lepto vaccine and booster, good for dogs over 12 weeks old. Call today to schedule your pet’s vaccinations.
