I hate to beat a dead horse but I am really back and forth on whether or not to get the lepto portion of the vaccine at Silas's next vet visit. My vet recommends it as we are in a high risk area. She also is very much ok with what I decide as if she wasn't I would certainly look else where. I read a lot and sometimes too much. I have read so many folks say not to get it and others say they have never had an issue,
According to my vet, the one they give is not a live strain....now I say thin being somewhat ignorant on the vaccine arena. She has also said they have not had any negative health related issues with it and the risk to such reactions is as much or little as with any vaccine.
I do not typically give or take my dogs to get vaccines after the first year as I worry about over vaccination, we go for annual well checks though.
I have never heard of the lepto shot until recently actually and I see some discussions on the boards here and have read Dr Karen Becker's that Mom's has posted (thanks!) and others take on it.
Ugh why am I so worried about it.....to me that may very well be my answer
Would love to hear real world experiences good and bad from the vaccine.
