🚨 Alert: Rise in Canine Influenza Cases in Alabama 🚨
Canine influenza, also known as dog flu, is on the rise in Alabama, and it’s important for all dog owners to be informed and take precautions to protect their furry friends.

🐕 What is Canine Influenza?
Canine influenza is a contagious respiratory disease in dogs caused by specific strains of the flu virus. It’s similar to human flu and can spread rapidly, especially in areas where dogs are in close contact, like dog parks, kennels, and grooming salons.

💉 How Does It Impact Dogs?
Symptoms of canine influenza include:
Persistent cough
Runny nose
Fever
Lethargy
Loss of appetite

In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia, which can be life-threatening. While most dogs recover within 2-3 weeks, early detection and treatment are crucial.

🛡️ What Can You Do to Mitigate the Risk?
Vaccination: Speak with your vet about the canine influenza vaccine, especially if your dog is frequently around other dogs.
Avoid High-Risk Areas: Limit visits to places where dogs gather, such as dog parks or kennels, during outbreaks.
Practice Good Hygiene: Regularly clean your dog’s bedding, toys, and feeding areas to reduce the spread of germs.
Stay Informed: Keep an eye on local news and veterinary updates regarding outbreaks in your area.
