We took Twister to the vet yesterday for his annual Lepto shot. Normally he just feels droopy and sore for a day or two after. Well he was up til after midnight puking all over the house, bedroom, front room, hall way, couch, blankets, well you get the idea. My poor baby.
I had to call the emergency vet (9:00) and they suggested a Pepcid and Benadryl, of which both he promptly threw up. I ended up crushing them and mixing with karo syrup and giving it to him in a syringe. He finally settled down about 1:00 AM and we were both able to get some sleep.
This morning he is sleeping, but ate some food, then puked it up. I called the vet again this morning-our vet is open Sunday. I gave him some Pepto and if he isn't feeling better will drive back to town to have the vet check him out.
The moral of the story, I talked with my vet, we are NOT giving Twister Lepto any more! I gave it to him as our county does have occasional cases, but as we live so far out, his only real exposure is racoon poo. We keep an eye on him any time he is out, he never is unattended, as we have no fences.
What are your thoughts on Lepto?
