Dear Rivergate Family,

We wanted to share our current understanding of the "mysterious respiratory disease" in dogs that has been surfacing on news stations and social media sites. We are always in contact with veterinarians across the country and specialists to stay informed regarding possible emerging diseases. As of now, the veterinary community can not confirm a "new" viral disease that is more fatal, fast moving, or contagious than respiratory "colds"/diseases that are already recognized. While this could change, the complicating factor in tracking and confirming a new respiratory disease is that there are already many canine respiratory diseases, viral and bacterial, that have a potential to progress to pneumonia and serious illness especially when there is infection with more than one virus/bacteria. Now (just like humans), we are considered to be in "high respiratory season" where we see an increase in coughing, sneezing, and runny noses. Every year during this time period, we have cases across the country of animals with respiratory illness that becomes serious and can require hospitalization. In cases of severe disease, there is usually predisposing factor(s) that contribute to an animal falling more ill than the average dog such as compromised respiratory tract, complicated medical history, being immunocompromised, or infection with more than one respiratory virus/bacteria at the same time. It is important to stress that severe/fatal respiratory disease develops in a very small percentage of patients that start with a "cold". Below are a few recommendations we can make in order to keep your furry friends as safe as possible this and every respiratory season:

1. Vaccinate. As discussed above, serious disease often occurs when an animal becomes infected with more than one viruses/bacteria. In order to reduce co-infection, take advantage of the respiratory vaccines we have available which include bordetella (kennel cough), influenza (canine flu), parainfluenza + adenovirus 2 (both present in the DA2PP vaccine). Now would be a good time to review your dog's vaccine history and make sure they are up to date.

2. Smart socializing. Respiratory diseases are spread by respiratory secretions (saliva, nasal discharge) that can be airborne or transferred by surfaces such as water bowls. Fully vaccinated, known to your family, healthy appearing dogs (no sneezing, coughing, runny noses) are the safest choice for socialization in terms of minimizing exposure to disease. In many ways it is a game of numbers when it comes to socializing-the more crowded an area and the more animals there are, the more likely your pet is to come into contact with a respiratory illness. Boarding facilities and daycares are considered crowded, high volume and enclosed areas. It poses a risk of contracting disease, but this has always been the case and currently we can not assess the added risk of a possible new respiratory illness.

3. Early medical care. Early intervention, diagnosis, and treatment is often paramount to a good outcome. While most "colds" will pass and be fought off by the immune system without a problem or medication, evaluation can help determine those cases who require more aggressive treatments to ensure long term health.

Thank you for trusting us with the care of your family members. We will do all we can to ensure their safety, well being and continue to spread legitimate information as it arises.
