 The diagnosis of leptospirosis in dogs has increased in the Chicago area over the past few years due to increasing prevalence of the leptospira bacteria in the environment as well as increasing vigilance in the veterinary community. We see several cases per year of Leptospirosis at Pulaski Animal Hospital. That is sad because this dangerous and potentially fatal disease has a good vaccine to prevent it; leptospirosis is preventable disease. Leptospirosis is the disease caused by spiral bacteria called Leptospira. These bacteria can infect rats, mice, voles, shrews, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, foxes, reptiles, frogs, cows, horses, pigs, deer, dogs, sea lions, and hedgehogs. Cats are particularly resistant to leptospirosis. The larger mammals such as cows, horses, pigs, etc will show overt signs of illness while the rodents do not. |

A group of cats is referred to as a clowder, a male cat is called a tom (or a gib, if neutered), and a female is called a queen.
