🚨 LEPTOSPIROSIS: PROTECT YOUR DOGS TODAY 🚨
At PetSphere Veterinary Clinic, the safety of our furry community is our top priority. We are closely monitoring the recent health reports in Mauritius, where the Ministry of Health has confirmed 9 cases of Leptospirosis and 3 tragic deaths since the start of 2026.
While these are human cases, Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease—meaning it spreads between animals and humans. Our pets, especially dogs, are often the first line of exposure.
🐀 What is Leptospirosis?
It is a serious bacterial infection spread through the urine of infected rats and other wildlife. With the recent heavy rains and humid weather, the bacteria can survive for weeks in:
Stagnant water puddles
Damp soil and mud
Contaminated grass or garden areas
⚠️ Why you must act NOW
High Fatality Risk: Without vaccination, the disease can cause rapid kidney or liver failure in pets.
💉 How we can help
The "Lepto" vaccine is the only effective way to give your dog a shield against this silent killer. If your pet’s booster is overdue or if they have never been vaccinated against Lepto, now is the time.
Signs to watch for: High fever, lethargy, vomiting, or a yellow tint to the eyes/gums (jaundice). If you see these, contact us immediately.
Don’t wait for a tragedy to happen. Let’s keep our island's pets safe together.
