Episode Details

Leptospirosis, a bacterial infection spread through rat urine, is on the rise in urban dogs, particularly in cities like New York and Chicago. This zoonotic disease, which can cause kidney and liver issues, is often hard to spot early and can be fatal. Veterinarians now recommend the leptospirosis vaccine for all dogs, as even indoor pets can be exposed. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics are crucial to prevent permanent damage. Limiting exposure to stagnant water and rodent-infested areas is key to keeping dogs healthy.
