Has anyone had the dogs tested for Lepto? I haven't heard anything about Lepto here in TV, but on LI my Vet made a big deal about it, my dogs were vaccinated for it.

From what I know, it's carried in the urine of wildlife, (possum is a big one).

When I moved to upstate NY my Vet questioned them having had the shot because it's a live vaccine and as he said "What are they, hunting dogs?" (Yuck, Yuck...SNORT)

I have seen possum in my neighbors tree, have spotted their poop (it looks like pencil erasers) and have never heard a word about Lepto. Anyone have any info on this?
