Star went to the vet today for her annual checkup, vaccines, etc. While there, the vet asked if I would like her to receive a new vaccine; a hybrid of the Dlpp (distemper) vaccine. Here, where we have many ponds, bogs, marshes etc., the dogs often stop for a drink when walking in the woods. Last year, 2 dogs died from drinking stagnated water in our state park which was infected with a deadly bacteria. In the past year a new vaccine was developed against this deadly bacteria. I let Star receive it as she is always into everything. Has anyone else heard of this vaccine or illness' contracted from drinking pond water? Please be careful when allowing doggies to drink from ponds, etc!
