Most common illnesses and diseases that happen to humans can occur in our canine friends. Though we try to take care of our pets, there are times that they get adventurous. A yard or garden has many things that can make our dogs ill, such as frogs that they will try to chase and eat. Outside the home, there are streets and canals.
Leptospirosis
When a human wades in flood water that is infected with rat pee and does have an open would or other entry points of the bacteria-laden water, that might cause lepto. This bacterial infection is potentially fatal.
Dog dies from lepto
According to the vet, the dog was suffering from lepto that led to parvo that lead to the ultimate breakdown of the system. The gums were turning yellow. It is a difficult time for the owners as it was unexpected and something that happened that is rather bizarre and unbelievable so I will not mention the breed or the place of occurrence. I am writing this so people can be aware that it does happen and prevent such occurrences.
The dog was walking around outside. And, that was a usual thing, nothing out of routine. The dog drank from a puddle of water on the floor. It must have been dirty, bacterial laden - and that puddle of water lead to the dog getting leptospiros.
We care for our pets. Such matters are unexpected. Being aware that these things do happen, we have to be more vigilant.
