Small parasites - Big effect (Leishmaniasis in dogs) A summer vacation with the beloved family dog can be a wonderful time and lead to even more wonderful memories. However, it is not uncommon for that very vacation to be the cause of a serious illness, sometimes years later: Leishmaniasis. Once infected with the pathogen, the Leishmania parasites, there is no cure and also no mature medicine. In more than ninety percent of infected animals, the disease ends in death after about two to three years at the time of diagnosis. Dogs living in the areas of the risk zones and thus in the countries of origin, on the other hand, can unfortunately meet their end as a result of the disease after just twelve months. Many vacationers are not aware of the danger to which they expose their beloved animals. That is why, years later, when a veterinarian checks the family dog, the diagnosis comes as such an incredible surprise. However, the disease is preventative. This book is designed to teach you not only how to protect your faithful four-legged friend during the summer months, but also what options dog owners have if the dog does become infected.
