PALERMO – Closestemporarily, the municipal kennel of Palermo. This is what was established in union 93 today, Friday 7 June, by mayor Roberto Lagalla. The closure was established because there is a case of leptospirosis inside the kennel on a dog admitted to the shelter, but also because the disease is transmissible to humans.
The mayor received notification of the leptospirosis case yesterday and immediately proceeded to issue the closure order.

The dog has now been placed in a single boxthe same will be subjected to specific therapy by the veterinary doctors of the health facility.
Health checks will also be carried out primarily on animals that have come into contact with the infected dog tending to evaluate the status of the infection and any new suspected or infected cases.
