CANINE RESPIRATORY ALERT!
Hi Everyone, here is a quick update to share. Firstly, good job monitoring for Canine Influenza over this past summer. There is a new issue that has become a concern on the west coast, so we wanted to share what is happening and what to look for, in the event this spreads to our area.
As of November 2023, there are over 200 cases reported in Oregon. The symptoms have not yet been traced back to a particular cause, but it seems like it may be a virus.
Symptoms include:
* Chronic mild-moderate tracheobronchitis with a prolonged duration (coughing) that is minimally or not responsive to antibiotics.
* Chronic pneumonia that is minimally or not responsive to antibiotics.
* Acute pneumonia that rapidly becomes severe and often leads to poor outcomes in as little as 24-36 hours.
Until we know more, this is just a friendly reminder to be vigilant for any potential symptoms such as coughing. As a reminder, if your dog is coughing, please keep them isolated from other dogs.
If your dog will be in high density situations such as dog parks, obedience class, grooming, or boarding it is recommended to get the Influenza Vaccine and the Bordetella Vaccine, or to avoid these situations if possible.
If you are coming in to see us here at the clinic, if your dog is coughing please call us from your vehicle when you arrive, and remain in your vehicle until we have an exam room ready. This allows us time to prepare additional safety measures and minimize exposure to other patients.
If any questions, please call us at 952-445-7956. Thank you!
