Attention Clients:

Some of you may have heard of the mysterious respiratory virus that is going around!

Attached is a link from the AVMA about the virus and this is all we know as of now. They are working hard to figure out what it is and how to treat it.

If your pet is showing any signs of coughing, sneezing, green discharge from the nose/eyes, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, please give us a call immediately.

We are recommending that you keep your pets away from daycare, dog parks, pet stores, or anywhere that could potentially be unvaccinated dogs! As of right now this is only effecting dogs and we do have a bordetella and influenza vaccine that can be provided to your pet. If your pet has never had an influenza vaccine before, it would need to be boostered in 3-4 weeks from the first initial vaccine.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture has received more than 200 case reports from veterinarians of a mysterious canine infectious respiratory disease since the middle of August.
