There has been a increase in complex respiratory cases over the past year or so, with more dogs developing pneumonia or serious complications than is expected from typical causes of 'Kennel Cough'. We will provide additional information as it comes available from reputable sources.
What should pet owners be aware of?
ISOLATE your pet if they develop a cough without known medical explanation. Coughing dogs should not be boarded in a kennel or exercised with other dogs as they could be exposed to other pathogens which could progress their disease and they pose a risk to other pets.
CONTACT your veterinarian if your pet develops a cough, and monitor for progressive signs such as loss of appetite, lethargy, depression, weakness or nasal discharge. A Pet ER visit might be necessary if after-hours or if your veterinary office does not have availability.
VACCINATE your pet. Eliminating or reducing certain known infectious respiratory pathogens such as Distemper, Bordetella and Canine Influenza may provide protection against complicated disease.
RESTRICT your pet from sharing toys and public drinking bowls and from interacting with dogs that are coughing or appear unwell.

We will be closing at 4:30 today for a meeting. Sorry for any inconvience!

Happy Veterinary Technician’s Week to these AMAZING ladies. Make sure you thank them for their hard work and excellent care they give your pets. Also, we’re starting our week off with Century Link being down so our internet and phones are slow or sketchy at best. Please be patient, otherwise, my technicians will use their brand new clippers in ways you might not approve. 😁
