We have welcomed our newest furry friend, Chef Timmy Tahini, to the MLVCC family! Chef is a unique breed of cat called a Lykoi. This breed was a naturally occurring mutation found in a feral domestic shorthair colony in 2010 which lack hair growth! These unique cats can "molt" up to 3 times a year and surprisingly do not share the Sphynx or Devon Rex gene. We have all been delighted to watch him grow and enjoy his shenanigans!

Hi! My name is Lucy and I am a 9 month old Maine C**n from Colorado. As you can see, I’m a big guy and the gals at the clinic say I am a very handsome boy. When my mom brings me to work with her, they give me treats and play with me all day. It’s the best! They even took me on a walk yesterday. I wasn’t sure at first, but I ended up having a great time. I can get up to 25lbs when I am full grown, which is typically between 4-5 years of age. Can you guess how much I weigh now ?

New Unknown Respiratory Pathogen?

There have been recent reports in the media of an “atypical canine infectious respiratory disease” with signs of sneezing, coughing, ocular discharge and lethargy. Affected dogs have been found in New Hampshire, the Midwest, Oregon and Washington and have been largely limited to upper respiratory signs.

There are numerous bacteria and viruses that are known to work alone or together to cause what veterinarians commonly refer to as Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex. Thus far, none of the known infectious agents including Canine Influenza Virus have been isolated from affected dogs.

The doctors at Maple Leaf Veterinary Care Center have not yet diagnosed any of their patients with this possibly new pathogen and it appears to not be present at significant levels in Washington State. According to the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory there have been no deaths in Washington from this new agent.

Our doctors will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as the situation evolves. Meanwhile, what can you do while we learn more about this pathogen? Make sure your dog is up to date with its vaccines including for Bordetella and Parainfluenza. While Canine Influenza Virus has not been isolated from affected dogs, Maple Leaf Veterinary Care Center does have this vaccine available for those dog owners who wish to have their dogs vaccinated for it.

Additionally, depending upon your degree of concern:
• Consider alternatives to large-group boarding situations and measure the benefits of dog park exercise with the potential risk of exposure to potentially sick dogs.
• Avoid sharing of water bowls among large number of dogs of unknown health.
• Have your dog examined by our doctors if it is exhibiting signs of respiratory or other illness

We will be closed this Thursday, November 23rd, so our hard working, dedicated staff can enjoy the holiday with family and friends. We thank our clients and patients for their loyalty and support!
