addendum:
Leptospirosis vaccination can cause a severe, and in some cases...deadly reaction in Miniature Dachshunds.
Reactions do not happen every time, but happen often enough in this breed that we feel the risk outweighs the
benefits of the vaccination. For this reason we ask our clients not to give their new miniature dachshunds this
vaccine or any combination of vaccines that include Leptospirosis in the ingredients. We will not stand behind
reactions from this vaccination.
If you choose to go against our recommendations PLEASE follow these steps...
1. Schedule the first appointment of the day
2. Ask that your pet be pre-treated with diphenhydramine(Benadryl)
3. Hang out at the Vets office for at least 45 minutes after vaccination is given
4. Know that any reaction(including, but not limited to Vomiting and Diarrhea) is an emergency in the very
tiny puppy. Make sure the veterinarian and staff will see you and treat your pet at a moments notice if you
return to the clinic.
5. Do not leave the vet appointment without after hours numbers and instructions. It is not common for a
reaction to happen that far from the causing stimuli, but can happen. So please be prepared for any emergency.
6. Do not include any other medications, vaccinations, or treatment on the day of the Lepto vaccination.
