Leptospirosis Vaccine

| if he is going to get a reaction that probably is the one he will get it to. Its often given in the 5 in one (Ithink). My former trainer/retired vet said she saw many bad reactions to it.
It is probably what caused Morgan's syst to develop at the injection site. |
| Do you recommend that I do not give it? Are you going to give it to Morgan again? Thanks for the quick response!!! |
| we have switched to a new vaccine protocol. i would do more research before i did. |
| Nigel had a reaction to that one...his eyes swelled almost shut. We haven't given it to him since. He was around 8 weeks old at the time. |
| I also have heard that the Lepto vaccine has a higher % of reactions than most of the other vaccinations. It is not included in the multiple vaccines here anymore either. Last reading I did, the vaccine was only recommended in areas with a high enough prevalence of lepto to warrant the risk.
That being said, it was included for as long as I can remember until fairly recently, and I never knew of any dog personally that reacted. I would check with your vet and perhaps some other vets in your area to determine if where you live is a risk area. Then weigh the risk to your dog and how bad you want them to go to this facility. Luckily, the facility I teach my classes at is being flexible. It is a dog spa with boarding, daycare, pool and rehab, as well as the training center area. I have issues with lots of the topical pesticides, and their policy is very strict requiring it. They know me, and know I use alternate preventions. And they know I am not going to raise a huge fuss or sue them if my dog gets a tick or flea. Same with the vaccinations. Good luck.  |
| I actually talked to our boardacility and they were fine wth the new protocol - even though their literature says other wise. you could try that. |
