**Canine Respiratory Illness Resources***
Concerns about an outbreak of canine infectious respiratory disease have been reported in areas all over the United States. While there has been heavy media coverage, the pathogen causing this illness remains unknown.

**So far in Arizona, we have had ZERO reported cases. **

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is monitoring reports of canine respiratory illness in the state of Oregon, Colorado, Illinois, and across the country.

The AVMA has been in contact with officials, who say they have received a little more than 200 case reports from veterinarians in that state since mid-August. Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) officials are working with state and national diagnostic laboratories to identify the causative pathogen, are asking veterinarians to report cases to the department as soon as possible, and advise dog owners to work with a veterinarian if their pet is ill.

Currently, the infectious agent is not known but is under investigation. ODA says cases reported to that agency appear to primarily fall within three general clinical syndromes:

*Chronic mild-moderate tracheobronchitis with a prolonged duration (6-8 weeks or longer) 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.

Owners should monitor their dogs closely for progressive coughing that may be accompanied by signs of ocular or nasal discharges and sneezing. Please consult your veterinarian immediately if those clinical signs develop, particularly if your dog concurrently loses its appetite, has trouble breathing, is coughing continually, or is extremely lethargic.

Owners are strongly urge to keep their dog’s vaccines updated. 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 vaccine for Bordetella, Adenovirus type 2, and parainfluenza vaccine. Avoid bringing a dog into the community until two weeks after the last dose of a vaccine and immunity has developed.

The risk of people getting sick from dogs with canine infectious respiratory disease is extremely low. However, because there is limited information on what agent or agents is or are causing the current outbreak, it’s a good idea to thoroughly wash your hands after handling your or other dogs.

**If you have any concerns about your pet's health, please feel free to call or text us at 480-545-8921. We will do our best to get your pets seen if any issues should arise.**

Thanksgiving Food Dangers for Dogs and Cats

It can be tempting for you and your guests to sneak the family pet a taste of the delicious meal, but common Thanksgiving dishes are full of ingredients that are toxic to dogs and cats or can cause digestive upset.

Keep your pet away from these dangerous festive foods:

Turkey-
Avoid giving your pet turkey meat, especially fatty dark meat and skin (a small amount of unseasoned white meat is okay), and never give them any leftover bones. Not only are bones a choking hazard, but they can splinter inside your pet’s digestive tract and cause a trip to the emergency vet.
Garlic, onion, leeks, and chives. -
These seasonings are common in many Thanksgiving dishes and are toxic to dogs and cats – they can cause destruction of their red blood cells. Avoid giving your pet a bite of anything cooked with these ingredients, like green beans, potatoes, stuffing, or gravy.
Unbaked dough containing yeast-
Unbaked yeast dough can cause a stomach blockage if eaten because the yeast in the dough makes it rise and expand. Plus, the natural fermentation of the yeast in your cat or dog’s stomach can cause alcohol poisoning. If you plan on baking some delicious dinner rolls for Thanksgiving, make sure to proof your dough somewhere that your pet can’t get to it, such as in a turned-off oven or microwave, not right on the counter where it’s often in your pet’s easy reach.
Desserts-
Desserts like pies, fruitcakes, or cookies should be kept out of your pet’s reach as well. Many people know that chocolate is toxic for dogs and cats, but so are raisins, currants, and the popular sugar-substitute xylitol. Xylitol, even in small amounts, is toxic to dogs, so keep that slice of keto-friendly/diabetic-friendly/sugar-free pie to yourself.
Not only do you not want to give your pets any toxic foods, but you want to make sure they don’t decide to dive into the trash in search of yummy scraps. Ask family and guests to not feed the dog and make sure your trash can is secure.
