By now you'll have seen the news or a Facebook post about the mysterious respiratory disease that is affecting so many dogs. This is an update from a qualified veterinarian.
"80 + percent of canine infectious respiratory disease (like human colds) are benign and self limiting. If your dog is eating, drinking and bouncing around like normal and coughing your pet is most likely going to be just fine. Just keep them home. If your dog is coughing, lethargic and not eating, see a veterinarian immediately. Have a respiratory panel done and radiographs".
If you dog does show any symptoms of coughing, lethargy and not eating, please go directly to your vet. Ask them about the bordetella vaccine. Viz Whizz is recommending members try and avoid taking your dog to dog groomers, day care and boarding facilities. Instead find a dog sitter or dog walker to help as everyone learns more about this disease.
