New News
*DISEASE ALERT - LEPTOSPIROSIS* Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that is carried by rats and excreted in their urine. Dogs can pick up the infection by eating diseased rats or coming into contact with soil or drinking water that is contaminated with urine from infected rats (the organism can survive for up to 2 months in stagnant water). Leptospirosis can cause kidney failure, liver failure, and more rarely lung disease. Signs to look for in your dog include lethargy, vomiting, decreased appetite, drinking more, urinating more/less, and jaundice (usually first noted as a yellow tinge in the whites of the eyes). If you see these signs, contact your vet ASAP. While some dogs are only mildly affected, the infection is often fatal. It is important to note that dogs and rats can also pass on the infection to humans, with similar symptoms to those seen in dogs. The good news is that this disease can be easily prevented by vaccinating your dog(s) at your local vet – 2 vaccines are administered 2-4 weeks apart (and an annual booster thereafter). In light of the current rodent plague and the elevated risk of dogs coming into direct or indirect contact with rodents, and a canine death from Leptospirosis on the Northern Beaches this week, it is recommended that everyone living in or frequenting the Greater Sydney area has their dog(s) vaccinated against Leptospirosis.
