Dear Dr. Collins-Brady,

Dear KVMA Members and supporting staff,

As many of you know, concerns about an outbreak of canine infectious respiratory disease have been reported in areas all over the United States. This has dominated media outlets early in this holiday season, but the challenging issue is there has been very little and consistent data reported as the definitive pathogen causing this illness. Different states are reporting different things with some known pathogens being isolated and some are not. We have heard anecdotal information that some dogs are dying, but we do not have concrete reports that this is the case. More so, national reporting suggests high morbidity with low mortality. So far in Kentucky, we have had ZERO reported cases.
According to the AVMA, the infectious agent is not known but is under investigation. Cases reported to 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 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.
We also strongly urge owners 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, combined with the injectable influenza H3N2 vaccine. Avoid bringing a dog into the community until two weeks after the last dose of a vaccine and immunity has developed.
KVMA is in constant communication with state diagnostics laboratories on detection of this unknown pathogen. The University of Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostic Lab will soon have available a PCR panel to screen for potential pathogens causing canine infectious respiratory disease. It is recommended if you are asking for bacterial cultures to also ask for a Mycoplasma culture. It is more fastidious and requires special conditions compared to routine aerobic culture. Pathologists at the lab are tracking canine respiratory disease fatalities.

We will provide any further information accordingly as it is made available.
