My vet used to tolerate my request to not give Lepto. <vbg> :o) But, he is seeing so much of it lately that he strongly urged me to reconsider. He even characterized the number of cases of Lepto he's started to see as an epidemic. He had such a severe case at his practice that all the humans at the animal hospital had to be innoculated (four vets and the entire staff) as well as the owners of the dog. He said the old shot only covered 2 of 5 different strains of Lepto but the new shot covers 5 of 7. He commented that the biggest problem is that so many people opt to not give Lepto that when it does make its rounds it spreads quickly! Needless to say I gave the last two Cavaliers Lepto at their annual check-ups. They suffered no adverse effects.
