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.

"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."
Reggie StoreyDonna Pacetti Smith
"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 schedule appointment and the 'meet and greet' cat in the waiting room is hysterical!"
