Leptospirosis is a very fatal, severe disease in both animals and humans. It is due to Leptospira genus bacteria and can lead to liver and renal failure in dogs if not managed on time. Although conventional antibiotics are the standard of acute therapy, homeopathy is useful in recovery, prevention, and immune modulation.
In this article, Dr. Vaseem Choudhary, senior homeopath at Homeo Care Clinic, explains what is leptospirosis , its symptoms and causes, treatment and how homeopathy can be utilized to treat dogs naturally and safely.
What is Leptospirosis?
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial infection transmitted by contaminated water, soil, or urine of infected animals. It infects various animals like dogs, rodents, cattle, and even human beings.
Leptospirosis in dogs is fatal and needs to be addressed immediately.
Leptospirosis Causes
Caused by the spiral-shaped bacterium Leptospira interrogans
Spread through contact with:
- Infected urine
- Contaminated puddles or water
- Bites or wounds
- Placental fluid from the infected animal
Common during rainy seasons and in tropical areas
Leptospirosis Symptoms in Dogs
The symptoms can be mild or severe, depending on the strain and dog immunity.
Early stages of leptospirosis are:
- Fever and shivering

Advanced ones may present with:
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)

Leptospirosis symptoms may mimic other disease conditions, and therefore early diagnosis is essential.
Diagnosis
