UK vets don’t seem to have much knowledge of leishmania – and now that so many Spanish dogs are being adopted there, we need to educate them. I always recommend an annual blood analysis for leishmania, even if the passport blood reports say ‘negative’. It has been known for a ‘negative’ dog to develop leishmania.
So please share the information on this link with your UK vet. Those of us with experience of dogs with leishmania know it’s nothing to be concerned about once the treatment is in place…but we need to educate the UK vets, especially on where to get the requisite medication. One couple I know used to travel back to Spain just to get it, as they couldn’t get it in the UK or on the Internet.
