Leptospirosis is a type of bacterial
infection spread by animals. It is
caused by a strain of bacteria called
leptospira.
In 90% of cases, leptospirosis only
causes mild flu-like symptoms, such
as headache, chills and muscle pain.
However, in some cases the infection
is more severe and can cause life-
threatening problems, including
organ failure and internal bleeding.
In its most severe form, leptospirosis
is also known as Weil's disease.
The common mild symptoms mean
that most leptospirosis infections are
hard to diagnose. Diagnosis is easier
if the infection causes more serious
problems.
A detailed history of places you have
been and any animals you have
been in contact with can help with a
diagnosis.

A viral outbreak can be controlled by reducing contact. Please keep your dogs at home, don't let other dogs visit, you don't know where they have been, who they have been with.


Please be extra careful when you go to the vet. Bathe your dog when you come back from the vet to reduce the rate of nosocomial infections.

Ensure proper hygiene for you and your dogs.
*Basically, use the ebola approach.

May we not have sorry tales.
Thank you.

Warning to all dog owners –
Leptospirosis outbreak in Lagos

We are sad no announce that we've
lost eight ( 12 weeks old puppies
of Tom Garner's Bloodlne and two
(2) 6 months old Tudor's bloodline
to this dreadful disease.

We also lost 2 GSD 14 weeks old puppies.
We thought it was parvo until the
test results came through.

Our six months old Dogo Argentino and our
Six months old German Boxer were
not affected they were vaccined
aboard. Our newly adopted 11
months Boerboel also shows signs
of infection.

All dogs less than a
year old vaccined in Nigeria came
down - perhaps our vaccine failure
could be due to refrigeration from
customs to warehouse to reseller to
you and I.


Symptoms in dogs include vomiting,
diarrhoea, lethargy, high
temperature and jaundice. The vet
says eight out of the nine cases
seen have been in vaccinated dogs
and vets suspect a new strain of
Leptospirosis bacteria is emerging
in this area, one that the classical
vaccination does not protect
against or maybe refrigeration.


The disease originates from rats
and can be contracted by wildlife
and dogs, but is almost unheard of
in cats. It is spread through urine
and tends to hang around in
stagnant water. As rats are
everywhere around us, we believe
that all dogs are at risk.

Just as we were kids den, and they tld us to get polio vacs or anyother vacs.. Just cos we didnt av it den didn't mean it might noy have happen... Like d saying goes why dont u prevent it than go searching for a cure when matter don pass ur hand

Thank you for the polio analogy.

You are allowed to post your pups pictures as he grows. Feel free to ask questions concerning your puppy too..
Cheers!

For the benefit of other readers, please, lets vacinnate our genetically modified canine friends to avoid unecessary disease outbreak. Unlike our mongrels who have acquired their immunity upon premediated exposure and selective elimination of their weaker numbers, our genetically tampered friends have not. A small sacrifice to pay for man's experiment.

Prodeegee:
Baba I no expect make u dey talk like ds o.

Vaccination is important and I've heard a whole kennel of 12 adult dogs dying with parvo.

Me sef don risk am before. Bought a male and female gsd, samoyed and boerboel. They all died after 6mnths.

A wise man learns from a fool's story. Don't wait till you tell yours

But wait a minute, that means u don't administer ARV too...mhen that's some serious sh*t!

Thank you very much Prodeegee.
Why take unecessary risks?

oluomoadebayo:
More damage than good.

Antibody production doesn't damage the immune system, it awakens it to potential invasion.

oluomoadebayo:
My dogs lives in my yard and I only vaccinate the pup at owners request, with the nature of food in feeding, their immune system is second to none.

Its still the same thing.
You don't expose your dogs, no need to vaccinate.
Not all ebola victims died, you can't predict the ones that would survive.
Vaccination is prevention.

oluomoadebayo:
Well I a lot of books and wrong info is out there about vaccination. For me , non of my dogs is vaccinated except 1 and we are just doing fine as a family.

No exposure, No disease.
Moreover, a dog that has crossed the 4month mark can successfully beat the parvo virus depending on immunological factors and acquired resistant antigenic strains. e.g mongrels immune to parvo, anti tick resistant sebum is some cases.
The ills of genetic tampering and excessive domestication include our canine friends being stripped of innate resistance and acquired immunity.

Expose your less than 4month old puppy to an infected dog and come back to tell us you are doing fine.

In all, vaccination is a preventive measure. Why take unecessary risks?

Thank you everybody, the calls have been overwhelming since the release of the puppy pics, thank you everybody especially those with kind words of encouragement.

Thank you everybody.
Cheers!

Thank you sir.

Prodeegee:
Its cool tho, better to be safe than sorry!

Yes bro. Thanks

Prodeegee:
Bro, the mothers milk is enough to guard them till wk 5. The vaccine will more-or-less not be effective cos of the immunisation in the mothers milk.

Its a recommendation from a professional from one of the books I read.
Its a precaution though.

Hello,
This thread is opened so we can contribute our puppy pictures.
A dog is a puppy till it gets to 1year or older in larger breeds.
