Lepto Vaccine: to
give or not to give.............
Central Illinois Sheltie Rescue has
recently taken a stand on the controversial "Lepto" vaccine.
We have never given this vaccine to our Shelties, but have not spoken
out on it either....until now.
Now...with yet another death from
reaction to this vaccine, we are now taking a public stand on NOT giving
this vaccine to your Sheltie. Not all Shelties will react to this
vaccine, however enough Shelties have-- that it is worth mentioning here
on our site. Seizures, fever, flu-like symptoms, lethargy,
liver and kidney failure .....and even death has all been reported
from giving the "Lepto" vaccine. Our recommendation is to
discuss this with your vet BEFORE you give this vaccine to your Sheltie.
