color:navy'>We got a card from our vet yesterday, saying Sarah is due for her
leptospirosis vaccination. Since Sarah is 12.5 years old now, I’m
questioning whether she really needs it. She’s healthy except for
some rear-end arthritis. She stays in our yard and house, except for a
daily walk around the neighborhood that takes in about a mile, and doesn’t
go by any streams or ponds. She is our poop-eater, though, and she almost
always snags some unknown treats while we’re out walking.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";
color:navy'>So, do any of you have informed opinions about whether the leptospirosis
shot is a good idea? A bad idea? Generally safe for senior houndies?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
