Today was my last day with Peaches and Rocco 😢 peaches has been a staple in our lives for years. She stayed at the house many many times and she and Ossie LOVE each other! Rocco just joined the family and he is precious and I will miss watching him grow up but I know Lisa will keep me updated on them! Leaving my clients is as hard as leaving the pets 💔

Respiratory illness strikes canine community in Colorado’s Front Range, CSU veterinarians warn

By Brooke Garcia, CVT

A contagious illness leading to upper respiratory infection is affecting the canine community along the Front Range of Colorado, surprising pet owners and veterinary circles in recent months. The possible virus, which is under intense observation by Colorado State University veterinarians, has been linked to cases of severe pneumonia and, tragically, resulted in some fatalities.

The uptick in cases has left veterinarians looking for answers and pet owners on edge. While coughing with the typical syndrome usually only lasts seven to 10 days, some cases this year have continued coughing for several weeks. In addition, while pneumonia occurs in some typical kennel cough cases, this year the numbers of pneumonia cases seem higher.

“Contagious respiratory disease in dogs (kennel cough or the canine infectious respiratory disease complex) is common and there are multiple viral and bacterial causes,” said Dr. Michael Lappin, board-certified internal medicine veterinarian at the CSU James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital. “However, in recent months, cases are being diagnosed more frequently and the course of disease is different than usual, surprising both pet owners and veterinary health care providers. It is currently unknown whether these unusual cases are caused by a virus or a bacterium, or a combination of both types of infection.”

CSU experts are working to unravel the mysteries surrounding this unusual syndrome and are are particularly interested in determining whether the cause is a new or exiting virus or bacterial infection. Dr. Amanda Cavanagh, board-certified emergency veterinarian and head of the CSU Small Animal Emergency and Urgent Care service, expressed concern and eagerness for better understanding and data to inform treatment and disseminate information.

“The health and well-being of our canine companions are paramount,” Cavanagh said. “We are actively learning about this illness, its causes, transmission, and potential treatment measures to protect our beloved pets.”

Clinical findings and tests completed to date suggests that most dogs with the unusual syndrome have a virus that primarily targets the respiratory system, leading to secondary bacterial infection and pneumonia in affected dogs. The mode of transmission remains unclear, but early observations indicate it appears to be contagious, and CSU veterinarians are treating patients in isolation to contain the spread. Veterinarians and public health officials are studying whether this is a new virus or bacterium, or a more pathogenic form of a known agent, Lappin said.

Recommendations for keeping dogs safe

Keep vaccines updated: Ensuring dogs are up to date with vaccinations is critical. While the existing vaccines may not specifically target this unknown infection, maintaining overall health through routine vaccinations can help support a dog’s immune system in combating various infections. Optimal protection against common respiratory infections includes the annual intranasal or oral vaccine for Bordetella, Adenovirus 2, and parainfluenza vaccine, combined with the injectable influenza H3N2 vaccine.**

(**Commonly known as the bordetella, distemper, and canine influenza vaccines. Northfield Veterinary Hospital has just started to carry the influenza vaccine, so your pet may not be vaccinated. Please give us a call and we can check your pets records and get your dog scheduled, if necessary.)


Watch them closely: CSU veterinarians advise pet owners to monitor their dogs closely for progressive coughing that may be accompanied by signs of ocular or nasal discharges and sneezing.
Consult your veterinarian: If these clinical signs develop, consult your veterinarian immediately, particularly if your dog concurrently loses its appetite, has trouble breathing, is coughing continually, or is extremely lethargic.


Avoid voluntary gatherings of dogs: For the time being, it would be prudent to avoid dog parks and other social events where your dog could have contact with dogs of unknown vaccination or health status. If boarding, day care, or grooming are required, complete the vaccinations described above before attending.

Today is a very sad day. Bishop has been part of my life and business for the last 6 or 7 years. He was friends with Addie and Kami and now Ossie and Bella. He has stayed at my house and I’ve been walking him daily for years. His health has been declining for the last few months. This morning Cat knew something was different, he was not well. This afternoon we gathered his friends, human and dog and we had a nice stroll. He was in his wagon but seems to come to life with all his friends around! He even smiled at us which he hasn’t done in a while. My heart is broken and I know cat’s is shattered. RIP sweet sassy boy. We love and will miss u 💔

Hi friends

I see a lot of post about lost dogs/cats and I’ve even posted myself a few times after finding lost dogs. I discovered a fairly new product called Byte Tag https://shop.bytetag.co I love this product so much I have become an ambassador for the company! Both of my dogs wear them! My favorite thing about this the tag is it’s epoxy coded so it’s waterproof and it’s the only tag ur pet needs so NO JINGLING!! I always hated tags jingling! No more. So this tag has a QR code unique to ur individual pet and u can create a profile that encompasses ALL ur pets info, age, allergies,how your dog/cat interacts with people, other dogs and cats and kids! You can provide your vets information and their health/vaccine details.

You also enter all your info BUT this information is not shared until you mark your pet lost! You can enter multiple contact numbers. You can’t do this on a regular tag! I have my dogs insurance information and microchip information on her profile.

If your dog is lost, you go on the app and mark them as lost. At that point your information is shared with the person who scanned the QR Code. It also gives u location of your pet! It’s not GPS but does give you the location once scanned. Also, if you don’t know your dog got out, you will get notification that someone has scanned the QR code.

I highly recommend this product! Protect your pet for a very reasonable 1 time charge. No monthly charges, just buy the tag and you’re all set! If you use my code STACEY69 at checkout you can save 15%! If you are interested I’m happy to answer any questions!

Cheers to happy and healthy pets and our peace of mind knowing they are safe!

My poor traumatized baby was attacked by 1 of the 2 dogs we are pet sitting for a total of 3 weeks (1.5 weeks down and 1.5’to go). I also got bit in the leg trying to separate them. So sadly they will no longer be allowed free roam of the house and will be confined to a room or outside but no more contact with our dogs! It’s not how I like to care for dogs in my home but the well being of my animals (and me) comes first!

I was only suppose to take care of Keely on Fri. He older mom had surgery and was suppose to come home Sat but she isn’t coming home just yet, she is going to rehab for a week or so. I’m now visiting Keely 4x day til she comes home. Problem is Keely is used to being by mom’s side all the time while she works from home. She ate well up until today and now I think she is sad and lonely and isn’t really eating…I’m going to spend some extra time with her to see if that helps. She is older and very thin as it is so losing weight will not be a good thing for her…🤞 she adjust to being alone during the day. She is such a sweet girl ❤️
