There have been reports of cases of leptospirosis in dogs in parts of the country. Leptospirosis is a disease that is best known for causing jaundice in dogs. It is fatal in most cases unless treated very early after onset. Of greater concern, is the danger that leptospirosis poses for people who come into contact with a dog suffering from the disease. It is highly contagious to both humans and other dogs.
