He should have the anti-bodies to cope then, when you go ratting he will get a few bites. Just clean the bites and his face will swell where he got bit. Wait for the swelling to go down and take him out again. After a while he will stop swelling up where he has been bit

Get it jabbed before ratting. A dog should be jabbed anyway. Lepto isnt a nice way to go mate and its more common than you might think. You or the dog can catch it from infected rat urine-no bite required.

Berinator is right . Get it it's jabs then it's boosters

[fireman 11,033]

Dogs don't need boosters,none of mine ever get them and they kill hundreds of rats every year,never had a problem with lepto but there's so many strains of lepto it's hardly worth jabbing them against it anyway.

Boosters are a vet scam to get you to pay more money on a yearly basis,get them done when there pups and thats all thats needed.

i would agree with that my dogs never get jabs or boosters

[fireman 11,033]

I allways jab them as pups but thats it, seen to many parvo and distemper cases to risk that old do.
