There is a new respiratory illness that is spreading across the country. Making our dogs sick and killing them as well.
It is starting with a persistent cough, congestion, runny eyes, sneezing,& lethargy.
It is not clear what is causing the illness, thoughts are a new bacterium w it hard to treat.
Until more information is gathered stay out of communal dog areas- dog parks, doggy day care and even be careful going to the vet.
If your dog shows symptoms. Please call your vet. Be aware of who your dog has been anround and possibly exposing to their illness.
In the meantime, be vigilant about who you take your dog around. Ask if they’ve been sick. I wait in my car until my vet appointment so I’m not in the waiting room with sick animals.
Take care and stay healthy😊
