Not confirmed yet but blood test results should come in later today. Right now she's on Amoxicillin and has been since Saturday. Getting some food and water in her. She seems to be having some abdominal pain, walks kind of humped up. Has a fever, was 101.5 on Saturday. She slept outside last night in the leaves under the Blueberry bushes, temperature was 36/38 degrees. Thought we'd wake up to a dead dog but being a Griff, she's pretty much immune to cold but it's more the fever thing.
Have any of you dealt with this? What should I expect?
The source of the infection is the water in the lower Columbia River. It has a lot of Sealions in it and they have a small epidemic of Lepto going on right now. Has been over 70 of them die the past few weeks along the coast. This isn't unheard of.
