CANINE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS REPORTEDLY SPREADING ACROSS THE U.S.

Veterinarians across the U.S. report they are encountering a surge in the number of dogs presenting with acute respiratory infections, ranging from mild cases to life-threatening pneumonia.
While the diagnostic testing is often negative for known canine pathogens and the disease is reportedly nonresponsive to first-line antibiotics, it is not clear if this event is a novel pathogen or a well-known disease such as Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC, also known as “kennel cough”).
The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine (UFCVM) has issued a statement on the subject and is updating its recommendations as more information develops. While much is unknown about reported atypical CIRDC, basic disease control and treatment protocols as described in the below URL will help keep dogs safe and provide a roadmap for diagnosis and treatment.
At this time, UFCVM and the FVMA recommend vigilance in identifying and segregating dogs with signs of respiratory illness.

We now have enough staffing to resume weekend boarding!

Also, Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings we have many openings for routine baths.


Dr. Jack's best fur friend "Buddy" is so loved that he wears his heart on his head for all to see.

PETEY UPDATE

So, Petey is healing well and has a new home with one of our technicians.
"I want to extend our gratitude to our clients for their patience, understanding, and support during this difficult time. We are doing everything possible to communicate and provide the best patient care. We treat your pet like our own and understand the importance of the bond and love our pets give to us. We know it’s especially important during these difficult and stressful times. We are going to continue our curbside Vet Valet service into September. We will continue to evaluate the situation with Coronavirus to ensure the safety of you and our health care team. Please remember our staff is exposing themselves to a large number of people and this impacts all of us and our families. Thank you again for your support, understanding, and trust during the pandemic. You have been there for us and we will do everything in our power to be there for you!"

    Dr. Jack has been our vet since he started his practice here. The staff has always been professional yet kind and compassionate. Today when I called, I was told that Jack had a family commitment and was leaving the office "shortly". I explained that our dog, Rajah, seemed to be in a life threatening crisis, and I was told to bring her right in. Jack waited for me to get there, examined Rajah and we discussed the options. He never gave any indication that he had somewhere else to be. Jack and the staff never tried to rush me into making a decision and when it was made they were all very supportive. Not sure if I'll get another pet, but if I do Dr. Jack is the only vet for me.

    Really love this animal clinic! The staff and vets are very knowledgeable, friendly, and compassionate. All personnel are really interested in the welfare of each animal that comes through their doors. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes past my scheduled appointment and the "meet and greet" cat in the waiting room is hysterical!
