Overview

Infectious diseases can spread rapidly, pose serious health risks to other animals, and demand urgent medical attention. At LeelaVet Hospital, we operate a dedicated Isolation & Infectious Disease Management Unit, built with specialized infrastructure and protocols to protect both our patients and the broader pet community.

Our isolation ward is separate from all general treatment areas, with strict biosecurity measures in place to safely manage pets with highly contagious conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is isolation important for infectious pets?

It prevents the spread of diseases to other animals and allows focused, safe treatment.

Can I visit my pet while they’re in isolation?

Due to biosecurity risks, visitation is limited. Our staff provides frequent updates and photos when possible.

Is parvovirus treatable?

With intensive care including fluids, medications, and nutritional support, survival is possible—especially with early treatment.

What is the survival rate for distemper or leptospirosis?

It depends on the stage of disease and the pet’s response to treatment. Early intervention improves outcomes.
