We have been seeing some coughing cases this week, the patients we’ve been seeing had all been playing at Eulalona dog Park recently!
Kennel cough is a term often used to describe any infectious or contagious condition in dogs where coughing is one of the major clinical signs.
Kennel cough is very contagious, and dogs are often contagious to other dogs before they show any signs of disease.
Kennel cough is spread through respiratory droplets (from a cough or sneeze), so dogs readily transmit it through casual contact. Some of the infectious organisms can survive for a long time in the environment, making transmission possible even without dog to dog contact, such as contact with people’s hands or other contaminated surfaces.
The city parks director has decided to close Eulalona dog park for a few weeks to prevent infection from spreading further.
If you have any concerns or your pet is showing symptoms please call our office !
