The question is not can they REASON,

- Jeremy Bentham
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised

If you do not talk to them, you will not know them,
and what you do not know you will fear.

All truth p***** through three stages.

> Thanks for this awesome program you've created to
> help all of us take better care of our babies.
>
> Take care, Pam<<<<<<<<<<<
>
> Thank YOU for the kind words Pam!
>
> Now to your question.
>
> First here is What it is....
>
> Description:
>
> Leptospires are thin, filamentous, motile bacteria that
> are spiral in shape and have hooked ends.
>
> Transmission of the infection may occur via several routes, such
> as orally (primarily contact with urine), venereally, across the
> placenta, through broken skin (e.g. bite wounds), or by the ingestion
> of infected tissues. The bacteria may also be acquired from contact
> with contaminated soil, food, water, bedding and other fomites.
>
> The bacteria prefer soil that is moist and has a neutral pH, as well
> as stagnant or slow-moving warm water. 1,2Water is most often
> contaminated
> from the urine of infected animals, as the bacteria
> may be shed in the urine for months after an infection.
>
> Because Leptospires prefer warm weather and are readily killed
> by freezing, the incidence of clinical disease is greatest in late
> summer to early winter (August - December), in the southern
> areas of the United States, and in semitropical regions around
> the world. Disease prevalence also increases after periods of wet
> weather.
>
> Leptospires penetrate the mucous membranes or abraded skin
> and produce a bacteremia within 3-8 days. Infection then spreads
> to a variety of tissues, including the kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas,
> CNS, genital tract, and eyes. The bacteria commonly localize in the
> kidneys, causing impaired renal function. Acute nephritis develops
> and may progress to chronic renal failure.
>
> Leptospires appear in the urine about 12-15 days post-infection,
> and may persist for up to four years. 2 Infection of the liver is also
> common and results in hepatic necrosis and icterus. Historically,
> renal disease has often been associated with L. canicola and L.
> grippotyphosa infections, and liver disease has been associated
> with L. icterohaemorrhagiae and L. pomona infections (especially
> in dogs < 6 months old). Overlap occurs in the clinical syndromes
> caused by the various serovars, however.
>
> PREVENTION..
>
> It MAY be prevented with Vaccines, BUT that
> depends upon the specific strain of Lepto..
>
> Over the last 15 years, the serovars involved in clinical
> cases of canine leptospirosis have ****fted from predominately
> L. canicola and L. icterohaemorrhagiae to L. pomona, L.
> grippotyphosa, L. autumnalis, and L. bratislava.
>
> Historically most vaccines for dogs contained primarily
> the serovars L. canicola and L. icterohaemorrhagiae.
>
> With the realization that other serovars are now contributing more
> to clinical disease in dogs, vaccines have recently been produced
> that also contain L. pomona, L. hardjo and L. grippotyphosa.
>
> POST VACCINAL REACTIONS
>
> Postvaccinal reactions are common with the leptospiral
> bacterins. They include hypersensitivity reactions,
> localized inflammation at the injection site, and
> generalized malaise (sometimes with fever).
>
> Prevention of leptospirosis also involves the elimination
> of carrier states and the avoidance of potential sources
> of the bacteria in nature. Isolation of infected animals,
> the use of doxycycline to eliminate leptospiruria, strict
> sanitation in kennels and hospital settings, control of
> local rodent populations, and elimination of stagnant or
> warm, slow-moving water are all measures that may help
> prevent this disease. The bacteria are usually sensitive
> to the iodine-based disinfectants.
>
> SO what do I advise?
>
> Well that partially depends on where you live, and your
> dog's lifestyle. If you area has abundant Lepto, AND
> our dogs are regularly in slow moving warm water, then
> you could CONSIDER the Vaccine.
>
> I for one am NOT convinced that the Lepto vaccine is that effective...
>
> There are MULTIPLE strains of the disease, AND it is very difficult
> to create an effective vaccine for anything other than a virus.
>
> I started in practice 15 years ago, and I once regularly vaccinated
> for Lepto..AND I saw a LARGE number of serious VACCINE REACTIONS.
>
> I DO NOT advize giving it to ANY of my local clients here,
> BUT I livein an area that FREEZES ( it is below ZERO now),
> hence Lepto is not a problem.
>
> As for WHAT you should do?
>
> Talk to your Veterinarian and explain your concerns.
>
> Its ALL about RISK/BALANCE
>
> If you choose to NOT VACCINATE for Lepto, and one of your
> dogs contracts the disease, they can generally be treated
> early on with a penicillin based antibiotic..but there is
> the RISK of some serious long term side effects.
>
> THEN there is ALSO the RISK of some serious LONG
> TERM side effects with the Vaccine.
>
> WHAT would I do??
>
> NOT VACCINATE.

> Dr Macy re-iterates many of the things I have said,

> The risk of developing a vaccine site tumor has been
> estimated by the Vaccine Associated Feline Sarcoma
> Task Force to be between 1 / 1000 and 1 / 10,000 cats
> receiving rabies or feline leukemia virus vaccines and
> the risk of developing vaccine site tumors increases
> with the number of these vaccines administered, Who

>
> Currently, the clients whose cat develops vaccine-associated

> What recourse does the client who didn't want their cat

> Let's first look at the liability of the vaccine manufacture.

> This would be true if it were a human being who had an

> Veterinary vaccine safety and approval are the responsibility
> of the USDA, which claims federal law preempts the state's

> the USDA guidelines, recent court decisions hold the
> manufacturer harmless for reactions caused by vaccines
> (Smith-Kiln Beecham vs. Linnbrook Farms, Circuit Court of
> Appeals, March 26, 1996).
>
> It is interesting to note that although the FDA controls

> claims no federal preemption, and a human vaccine
> manufacturer may be held liable for injury produced by
> their vaccines under state common law statutes.
>
> What is the veterinarian's liability in such a situation ?
>
> If the veterinarian provided the owner with information
> regarding the potential of adverse events associated with
> vaccination prior to vaccine administration and there is
> evidence of such in the medical record, the veterinarian
> would not be considered liable for the adverse events
> caused by the vaccine. If the veterinarian, however,
> merely administered the vaccine without providing
> information regarding potential adverse events prior to
> the vaccination, the veterinarian may be considered
> liable for damages associated with that product.
>
> Rabies Vaccination
>
> In all states, rabies vaccinations are required by law.
> The first rabies vaccination is good for one year. In
> many states subsequent vaccinations are good for three
> years. In other states, they are only valid for one year
> by law.
>
> Please check with your vet to determine the legal
> requirements in your state.
>
> P.S. If your dog or cat is ILL and You go to a
> Veterinarian, they can NOT force the Rabies vaccine
> upon you. Many Holistic Practicioners will offer other
> options such as Homeopathic Nosodes. If I had a Strictly
> Indoor Cat he would NEVER get ANY vaccines- regardless of
> State Law.
