Leptospirosis, also known as Weil's disease, is an illness damaging vital organs caused by bacteria commonly transferred by urine from infected animals like rats, mice, cows, pigs, and dogs.
Significant increase in Weil's disease cases in dogs reported post-pandemic; symptoms include diarrhoea, headaches, yellowing of the skin, usually fatal in dogs; vaccinations available.
Ways dogs contract Weil's disease: infected dogs, sniffing/licking urine-marked areas, contact with infected cow/pig/rodent urine, infected wet ground/fresh water; vaccine recommended.
