Recent news alerts have mentioned there is an unknown respiratory virus affecting dogs. We have been seeing this in Colorado since May, and the symptoms look a lot like kennel cough. We treated it as such, but it stubbornly hangs on and we have been modifying treatments on an individual basis. Some pets need antibiotics and steroids and some do not. While normal kennel cough can run its course in 2 weeks, this has been taking up to 2 months to resolve. The latest word is this may be a novel virus or possibly a resistant bacteria worsening the typical kennel cough complex. It is not just kennel cough or canine influenza, it is an unknown pathogen at this time. It appears to be airborne and can affect dogs of all ages, but younger and older dogs pose the highest risk to complications.
The symptoms we are seeing include:
•Coughing
•Sneezing
•Nasal Discharge
•Rapid and/or labored breathing
•Fever
•Changes in gum color
In severe cases the mild cough is rapidly progressing to pneumonia which requires more intensive antibiotics than normal, and sometimes even hospitalization including oxygen therapy and fluids. The emergency facilities have alerted us there have been a few deaths. Fortunately, we have seen very few that even needed to go to the hospital. If your pet is experiencing symptoms, we encourage you to make an appointment for an evaluation.
You ask, "How do you protect your pet?" In a perfect world, you avoid your pet having contact with other dogs. That can be difficult as services like grooming are an important part of a patient's wellbeing. Coming up on the holidays, it is likely many of you have your pet scheduled to board so you can travel to see family. Be certain to review with those pet care facilities how they are addressing the concerns. They should be able to report any issues experienced by other pets in their care and what was done to mitigate. We encourage keeping your pet current on respiratory vaccines like bordetella and influenza however it does not come with guarantees against this mystery illness.
We hope this helps you as you navigate these decisions for your precious pets.
From the doctors of WellHaven Pet Health Colorado Blvd.

We know the cost of treating parasite infections,
