It is caused by a parasite that is transmitted through the bite of infected sandfly mosquitoes. Not all infected animals develop the disease but they can still act as a source of contagion.</span></p> <p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">The clinical signs are very variable and non-specific: skin wounds, eye problems, weight loss, fever, epistaxis, joint problems, diarrhoea, muscle aches...</span></p><p><br></p><h2> <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">How can it be prevented?</span></h2><p> <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">The first step to avoid Leishmania infection is the use of repellent pipettes or collars that help us avoid bites by the vector (mosquito).</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Currently, there are also two vaccines from two different laboratories with different vaccination guidelines.

Therefore, if this is your case and your dog does not take this syrup, consult your trusted veterinarian to assess whether or not it would be convenient for him to add it to the current treatment.</span></p> <p><strong style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">And above all, don't leave repellent treatments (pipettes and/or collars)!</strong></p><p><br></p><h2> <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">What is <strong </span>style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">"Leispro Program "</strong><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">?</span></h2> <p><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">The Leispro program was initiated by the Esteve veterinary laboratory and continues under the Ecuphar brand .
