Leptospirosis: The Backyard Threat

There are very few diseases you can get directly from your pet, but one of them is especially easy to contract: leptospirosis, a highly contagious illness spread through the urine of infected wildlife.

Dogs don’t even need to make contact with wildlife to get the disease—simply drinking water or ingesting dirt that’s contaminated with the urine of common backyard animals like squirrels, raccoons, and foxes is enough to make your dog very sick.

It’s important to know that this disease is also zoonotic, which means if your dog catches it, the human members of your family could as well!

Symptoms for both dogs and humans are similar and can include:

Fever
Shivering
Muscle tenderness
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Dehydration
Lethargy
Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)
Abdominal pain

We want your pet and your family to be protected! Schedule an appointment online at www.theacvh.com or call us at 480-893-8423 for more information.

The Ahwatukee Commons Veterinary Hospital team is proud to serve the pet population of Phoenix, Arizona and surrounding communities. Call today!

May is National Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month, and while you may already be perfectly aware of your own allergies, make sure you consider your pet’s reactions to the environment as well. Grass, dust and other environmental allergens are significantly more present this time of year, and our pets can be allergic to them, too. Symptoms of allergies in pets are similar to ours and may include:

Coughing
Wheezing
Sneezing
Runny nose
Watery, itchy and/or red eyes
Itchy, flaky and/or red skin

If your pet has environmental allergies, your veterinarian may suggest allergy medication. Frequent baths can remove allergens from your pet’s coat, and wiping his feet before he comes inside can keep him from tracking allergens indoors. You should also vacuum and dust your home regularly to keep it allergen-free.

If you suspect your pet is suffering from seasonal allergies, call us at 480-893-8423 to schedule an appointment.
