Re: [pyrnet] CHAT, HEALTH : outbreak of Leptospirosis

["Allison Rathert" <pearldigger@earthlink.net>]

you may want to check w/you vet b/c some do not vaccinate for it simply b/c
it's the one that causes the most vaccine reactions.  if it's not necessary
they won't vaccinate for it due to that reaction.  if you are in the area,
be careful b/c humans can get it very easily.  it comes from mouse urine in
the water and the dogs drink or are exposed to it, and if you touch it you
can get it too.  it's not a fun disease either.  so, just be careful.
