12/11/2014 RODENTS, URINE, AND..... YOUThis is an important read for my clients who live in or are heading to tropical countries, but also for New Yorkers, who deal with rodents on a regular basis. Leptospirosis is one of the few diseases that also pass to humans. Ask your vet if the leptospirosis shot makes sense for your pet, and make sure you keep your pup from drinking and walking in puddles or rain water.
