Moll. 1,769 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Lepto jab is included in the normal vacc's...although it does not cover all types of lepto, you cannot get a jab for them all 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Millet 4,497 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Get it jabbed as it is silly not too..it should also be jabbed for the other regular stuff..it will help the dog not contracting the disease..but it wont stop it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westy76 546 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 So to clarify if the dogs jabs are up to date it's covered for ratting?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Not really..nothing is 100% certain but it will lesson the chance's of contracting something further down the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buster gonads 862 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Slightly different question, when your out and your dogs get bit by rats what do you put on the bites, is the likes of Savlon/Germolene ok, just started taking the pup to the rats and its only a matter of time, never used to worry but iam a wiser man now than i was when i was younger, he is jabbed up by the way, cheers.

Moll. 1,769 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hibiscrub is the stuff surgeons wash their hands with prior to surgery. As you can imagine it will kill almost everything, and much easier than faffing about washing with this, adding that. http://www.google.co.uk/#q=hibiscrub&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=shop&ei=gPhET53sD42JhQeA4bT2AQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=6&sqi=2&ved=0CF8Q_AUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=2f416f61c644263b&biw=1152&bih=721 If you know any nurses ask them to get you one from work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
