Alert: Dog Flu Spreading


Dev

Recommended Posts

This isn't really what I envisioned using the health issues forum for, but pets are people, too.  I got an email from my vet's office today saying that two particularly nasty strains of dog flu are spreading rapidly in the US.  They've hit my area hard enough that my vet is offering free vaccinations for dogs who have been seen in the office recently.  Left untreated, these strains can be fatal, and there has been record of both strains spreading to cats as well.  Based on the email, I don't think cats can be vaccinated, but if you're concerned, please check with your vet.

 

The email I got said nothing about this disease spreading anywhere outside the US, but even if you're not in this country, you may want to look into it to be on the safe side.

 

And of course, if you're inclined, please pass this along to those you know with furbabies.  Forewarned is forearmed.

I do not have a  dog but, from what I see at a quick glance, it is far less common here in the UK than in US. It's probably a good reminder though to those with dogs (or any othe pet) to have a handle on what issues they may get.

My sister's Black Lab got dog flu and nearly died. I sure hope my little Gizmo doesn't get it:?

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

 

Here's my little sweet pea❤

@Timber Wolf What an adorable kitty!  And that facial expression is so adoring and full of trust for you, where some cats would be decidedly indifferent unless you had tuna in one hand and a can opener in the other. :lol:
