We are so dreading that day with our dogs. We live in the Murcia region and currently have three dogs with Leishmaniasis (dogs that were all abandoned in our street) but whom we love dearly. Zorro our German Shepherd is halfway through his course of the syrup and has zyloric 300mg twice daily along with our other two Willie and Max. Unfortunately Zorro is still having nosebleeds and diarrhea. I have read on the internet that German Shepherds do not respond well to treatment so we just hope with another two weeks of treatment, he improves. Our other two seem to be doing fairly well - they have been on tablets for over three years and so far so good. Like you, we hope and pray that they find a cure for this horrible disease very soon.

I picked up a stray in Italy a month ago. He has Leishmaniosis. I have been giving him liquid medicene plus pills daily. I know i will not be able to bring him back to the USA. It breaks my heart. I named him Rocco. He is only 3 years old. I am at a loss of what to do. I dont think anyone would take him, we will leave in Feb of 2010. Best wishes for you.
