💦 Don't let Lepto muddy the waters! 😝
In this video, this is Stu, he belongs to one of our veterinary technicians and loves splashing in puddles, rolling in the mud, and any adventure involving water. Thankfully, Stu is vaccinated against Leptospirosis, helping keep him protected while he enjoys his muddy adventures!
Living in Florida, we have plenty of wildlife and stagnant water, which can increase the risk of Leptospirosis. Lepto is a bacterial disease spread through the urine of infected animals and can be found in contaminated water, mud, and soil. It can cause serious kidney and liver disease in dogs and can even be transmitted to people.😲
💉 Protection is simple! Dogs receiving the Lepto vaccine for the first time need a 2-dose series given 2–4 weeks apart, followed by annual boosters.
If your best friend hasn't started their Lepto vaccine series yet, give us a call at 727-546-0005. We'd love to help keep your pup protected! 🐾🐕
