There has been a confirmed case of Lepto in the Washington DC/Virginia area in a 6 month old Newf puppy. The pup is in acute kidney failure in the ICU at this time but vets are cautiously optimistic for a recovery, although she's still very ill and not out of the woods yet. The pup had been vaccinated prior to contracting the lepto but it's uncertain if she encountered another strain or did not have sufficient immunity established at the time of exposure.
In addition, both the owner and the pup's dog walker have tested positive and are being treated.

The breeder and owner are asking for some good energy, thoughts and prayers for a full recovery for this little girl pup.
