Dog Lovers
 

We arrived in Australia on the 20th July and left our fantastic german shepherd called Cas, on the 6th July (we had a holiday on the way out) We are using Golden Arrow shippers who are brilliant to hopefully bring him out.

It has been nothing but heartbreaking, all pets have to have blood tests before they can leave the UK, unfortunately our Cas seems to have Lepto, even though the government and several vets have confirmed that if he had the disease he would be dead. For the last 10 weeks he has had numerous tablets, injections and blood tests all to no avail. His blood count drops one week and then doubles again a week later.

Pleassssse let me know if anyone else and had these problems and how long its taken to sort out.

Was you dog vaccinated against Lepto in his last vaccination set ? If so then this could lead to tests being positive for up to 12 months I understand from my vet. Our Dobermann wasnt vaccinated against Lepto for over 18 months and had a negative result.

May explain something or not. Either way I do feel for you in your position. Its hard being apart from them.
