As many of you have heard there is a illness spreading in the dog community. All pet professional’s have been working together to keep track of spreading cases and symptoms. The yellow highlights are heavy number of cases, and the red dots are the new spread zones. Vets still can’t determine if this is spreading by air,contact or by fungus. That’s what is making this so dangerous and hard to treat. Please make sure your pets are updated on their vaccinations. DO NOT allow your pet to use community water/food dishes, AVOID dog parks and large gatherings of dogs, if your pet goes to dog boarding over the holidays keep them at home for TWO weeks to watch for symptoms. Be careful with dog outings and daycare. Symptoms include: ⭐️coughing ⭐️runny nose. ⭐️green discharge ⭐️eye and nose discharge ⭐️cough starts like kennel cough but leads to pneumonia which can be deadly
If you have more then one dog an one starts showing symptoms, separating them as soon as possible is the best option.
I am not a vet, but a very concerned pet professional. I will continue to do my best at keeping up to date and sharing that information with all of you 🖤
PLAY IT SAFE!
EDIT: It has been identified as Strep Zoo. A *bacteria that is a strain of streptococcal from what I’m hearing! I’ll update as I learn more 🖤
