  • 1.  Hepatitis and Lepto in dogs

    Posted 10-21-2024 09:11 AM

    Hi everyone, I recently rescued a dog in the hurricane  that has tested positive for hepatitis, and we're currently waiting for Lepto results.

    I have never had a diagnosis like this and even our vet seemed to have to do research. After googling all afternoon, I'm concerned about the health of my other dogs and the volunteers. What precautions should I take to protect them during this time? Any advice or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated!

    You're amazing for rescuing that dog! For hepatitis, isolation is key-limit contact between the infected dog and others, disinfect shared areas, and use gloves. For meds I recommend  to visit Canadian Pharmacy . they have a nice selection of it
