#canine influenza vaccine

[iheartvmt]

Just a heads up -- there is an ongoing outbreak of Canine Influenza Virus in the Southeastern US. So far, no cases have been reported in my state, but we are still reminding our clients to keep their dogs' Influenza vaccines up-to-date, particularly if they travel with their dogs or have visitors who bring their dogs with them. We also recommend an Influenza vaccine if your dog visits places where lots of dogs gather (such as dog parks, groomer's salons, or pet/feed stores), or if you often have stray or hunting dogs run through your property.

An update on the current uptick of canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC) in the US, posted December 5, 2023.

The good news is that we know it's not COVID or avian influenza. We're also relatively sure that it's not a new disease.

The bad news is that we're still not really sure WHAT the causative agent is. Current thinking is that it's a bacterial infection, which raises entirely new concerns like why it's not responding to current antibiotics. :/ It may be that we're seeing a new strain of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

The best defense for now is keeping up to date on vaccines.

very important message for dog owners!!

if you haven’t already heard by now, there is a mystery respiratory illness found in dogs that is sweeping across the United States. it presents very similarly to kennel cough or canine influenza, but veterinary professionals haven’t been able to identify yet what exactly it is. it is HIGHLY contagious, and thought to be spread through nasal secretions, so it is possible that your dog can pick it up on a walk where other dogs have been without actually coming into contact with other dogs. it has swept through the animal shelter i train dogs at like a wildfire and we have had anywhere from 10-30 dogs quarantined at a time since october.

at this time, it’s recommended that you do not bring your dog anywhere that other dogs congregate: off-leash parks, boarding facilities and daycares, grooming facilities, pet stores, etc. if you come into contact with other dogs, wash your hands and change your clothes before petting your own dog if possible. fatalities in infected dogs are rare so far but have been recorded. if you’re not sure if your dog is up to date on it’s vaccines, call your vet as soon as possible and find out, or get scheduled to update them!

I hope people will read the full article (side note, we've been seeing cases in Canada as well). But the main takeaways for pet owners, imo are:

Vaccinate your dogs. Especially for: Bordetella, canine adenovirus type 2, canine parainfluenza, canine influenza

Consult your veterinarian if your dog displays any of the following symptoms: lingering cough, weakness, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing, worsening of illness, a cough severe enough to cause the dog to vomit or struggle to breathe

Your dog may be more at risk if it is: old, very young, brachycephalic (short nosed or flat faced), immunocompromised, pregnant, or has underlying heart or respiratory disease

Vaccinate your dogs!

Until finally, a clue: A short segment of DNA belonging to what — as far as Needle can tell — appears to be bacteria that no one has ever described before.

"We think this may be a pathogen," he says, "It's something novel. It's in a proportion of the cases. It's funky."

Specifically, it appears similar to a genus of bacteria called Mycoplasma, which lack cell walls.

. . .

Now, veterinarians and state health officials around the country are wrapping their heads around what appear to be hundreds of cases of a yet-to-be-identified respiratory illness. While there's no official count, cases are being investigated in a handful of states, including Colorado, Oregon and Illinois.

. . .

Still, some veterinarians are concerned enough that they're recommending dog owners think about how to reduce their pets' potential exposure.

Dr. Amanda Cavanagh, an emergency and critical care veterinarian at Colorado State University, advises scaling back visits with other dogs and avoiding doggy daycares, boarding facilities and dog parks."

Just anecdotally, the chatter among veterinarians is that there are hot spots all over the country where some people are seeing an increase in respiratory cases," says Cavanagh.

In her state, the uptick in canine respiratory illness is obvious. Cavanagh says her hospital has about three to four dogs a day coming in — a clear increase from years past.

Unlike kennel cough that typically lasts about a week to 10 days, some of the dogs Cavanagh has treated had a cough for weeks to even months."

We're noticing that more dogs are getting secondary bacterial pneumonia," she says.

This is why it's also important for dog owners to make sure their pets are up to date on vaccines, especially those that guard against canine influenza and Bordetella, she says.

. . .

"This is lasting a lot longer than we would expect. This isn't responding to the normal antibiotics, or we're having to do really intensive, aggressive therapy, even surgery for these animals," she says.

Mystery illness killing dogs has been identified | News | northcentralpa.com

...  Although the research on the illness has yet to be published, the team of scientists are sharing their initial findings with the public.

The pathogen responsible for the mystery respiratory illness is described as “a funky bacterium," reported Pet Guide.

“It’s smaller than a normal bacterium in its size and in the size of its genome,” shared Needle with Pet Guide. “Long story short, it’s a weird bacterium that can be tough to find and sequence.”

After testing 30 samples from New Hampshire, genetic material from an atypical bacterial species was discovered.

The next steps for scientists will now be working toward finding a cure and a potential preventative. They will compare their findings to samples from dogs in other states to verify that it is the same pathogen in all reported cases, reported Pet Guide.

There are currently no reports of the illness being transferred to humans.

States with possible cases of the disease include:

California

Colorado

Florida

Georgia

Idaho

Illinois

Indiana

Maryland

Massachusetts

New Hampshire

Oregon

Pennsylvania

Rhode Island

Vermont

Washington

Warning Signs

Common symptoms resemble respiratory infections like canine influenza and kennel cough.

Veterinarians recommend watching out for the following symptoms:

Coughing or sneezing

Wheezing

Difficulty breathing

Nasal or eye discharge

Dehydration

Loss of appetite

Weight loss

Fever

Lethargy

How to Keep Your Dogs Safe

Until a cure has been identified, dog owners are encouraged to take on preventative measures.

Make sure your dog’s vaccinations are current.

Avoid public spaces like dog parks, doggy daycare, and grooming establishments where dogs may be exposed to the illness.

If you do go to a public space, avoid shared food and water dishes.

If you notice any signs of respiratory trouble or illness, contact your veterinarian to share your concerns and make an appointment.

How To Socialize A Puppy

The first four months of a puppy’s life are crucial for their learning and development, which is why proper socialization at an early age is so important. Puppy socialization consists of gradually introducing your pup to other dogs, people, and places so they can better acclimate to life around them. It’s the key to a confident, well-behaved dog!

Not to mention, stressful experiences at a young age can negatively impact your dog’s behavior, making them nervous, scared, or even aggressive—so take it one paw at a time! Read on to learn how to socialize a puppy.

Step #1: Ensure Your Pup is Vaccinated

Before your puppy can be around other dogs, they should be fully vaccinated to avoid illness. In fact, it’s a good idea to before your newest family member even arrives home! A typical puppy vaccination schedule begins at about six weeks of age and continues every three to four weeks until all shots are received. Vaccinations are then given annually, or as you and your veterinarian decide.  

Core vaccines for dogs prevent canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis, and rabies. Because they prepare the body to fight off possible contagious disease, these immunizations are considered vital. Non-core vaccines are given based on risk of exposure (such as where you live). Common non-core vaccines exist for Bordetella, canine influenza, leptospirosis, and Lyme disease. Your veterinarian can help determine which non-core vaccinations are necessary.  

Step #2: Introduce Them to People

Although your puppy should not meet other dogs until they’re fully vaccinated, they can be introduced to humans in the meantime!

The more friendly people your dog meets, the more comfortable they will be meeting new faces down the road. It is best for your puppy to socialize in a controlled environment, such as a familiar home or fenced-in yard. Also, make sure everyone who interacts with your pup knows how to do so in a positive manner. It is especially important to establish basic rules before introducing your new dog to children.  

Step #3: Introduce Them to Other Dogs After Vaccinations

Finally! Puppies can be around other dogs once they’ve received their vaccinations. It is crucial for your pup to socialize with different dogs so they learn how to get along with others. Dogs who do not socialize as puppies sometimes have a tough time “speaking dog” due to fear or aggression problems. To keep the experience positive, only let your puppy interact with familiar, non-aggressive dogs.

You should be especially mindful when encountering unfamiliar dogs at the veterinary office. After all, some dogs may be visiting due to an illness. When visiting the vet, carry your puppy into the office and keep them in your lap or a crate.

Step #4: Play Puppy Socialization Games

Puppy socialization games are a great way to teach your furry friend how rewarding it can feel to approach new people and be handled. Giving treats as encouragement during puppy training helps foster progress; just remember to check feeding guidelines to ensure you don’t over-treat!  

If you’re in a group, one socialization game option is “Pass the Puppy.” Here’s how to play:

Give each person a small amount of training treats.

The first person picks up the puppy and properly holds them, supporting their rear end.

Each time the puppy allows the person to touch a paw, an ear, or their tail, the pup gets a treat.

The puppy is passed to the next person and the same routine is repeated.

Another game to play with your puppy involves everyone sitting in a circle. Place your furry friend in the middle, then:

The first person calls the puppy to “come” while holding out a small training treat.

Once the puppy comes toward them, the first person gives the puppy their treat plus plenty of praise and affection.

Someone else in the circle goes next and repeats the process.

When it comes to puppy socialization, many pet parents don’t know where to begin. Fur-tunately, by following our tips on how to socialize a puppy, your newest companion will be ready to take on the world in no time!

you could never wrong me also if we make a blood pact just b prepared ull now be vaccinated against canine influenza

[audible-smiles]

one thing that annoys the hell out of me is when we have a local outbreak of canine infectious respiratory disease and vetmed people start grumbling "doesn't anyone around here vaccinate their dogs?"

yes, we have vaccines for canine influenza, canine parainfluenza, bordetella, and canine adenovirus type 2. but we do not currently have vaccines for (checks list) mycoplasma, strepococcus zooepidemicus, canine respiratory coronavirus, canine herpesvirus, canine pneumovirus, etc. all of the above can cause more or less identical clinical signs, and multiple pathogens can be present in the respiratory tract at the same time. so unless you're getting detailed vaccine history and doing a respiratory PCR panel on every "kennel cough" patient, you really can't possibly know whether preventative care negligence has anything to do with the outbreak.

[iheartvmt]

Ugggghhhhh canine influenza outbreak in the state, so of course now all the brands of the vaccines are on backorder 🙄

Woof! A Tail-Wagging Guide to Modern Dog Care in 2024

Dogs, our furry companions for millennia, continue to hold a special place in our hearts and homes. With over 69 million canine companions residing in the US alone, understanding their needs is crucial for both their well-being and our own. This comprehensive guide explores the wonderful world of dog care, addressing the latest trends, challenges, and solutions in today's dynamic landscape.

Unleashing the Power of Pups: The Joys of Dog Ownership

Owning a dog isn't just about adding a fuzzy face to your life; it's a commitment to fostering a unique bond filled with benefits. Recent studies by the CDC link dog ownership to reduced stress and blood pressure, highlighting their positive impact on physical health. Moreover, a 2023 study published in Nature Scientific Reports revealed that dog owners tend to be more social and active, further contributing to overall well-being.

Beyond Belly Rubs: Responsibilities and Routines

While snuggles and playtime are essential, caring for a dog necessitates dedication and responsible pet ownership. Providing a balanced diet tailored to their breed and age is paramount. Brushing, baths, and nail trims ensure good hygiene and prevent skin issues. Housebreaking requires patience and positive reinforcement techniques. Regular vaccinations protect against potentially fatal diseases, while spaying/neutering prevents unwanted litters and health risks. Lastly, microchipping is crucial for lost-and-found scenarios, ensuring your furry friend finds their way back home.

Navigating Modern Threats: Keeping Your Pup Safe

Today's world presents unique challenges for our canine companions. Traffic accidents remain a leading cause of dog mortality. Predators like coyotes pose a threat in certain regions. Additionally, diseases like canine influenza and parasites like heartworms require vigilant prevention and prompt treatment. Accidental ingestion of toxins, both household and environmental, necessitates extra caution. Climate change also impacts dogs, with heatstroke risks rising and tick-borne diseases expanding their range.

Unleashing Solutions: Championing Responsible Dog Care

Fortunately, a plethora of solutions empower us to ensure our dogs' safety and well-being. Consider adopting from shelters, giving loving homes to deserving animals while reducing pet homelessness. Provide engaging indoor and outdoor enrichment activities like puzzle toys, walks, and socialization to prevent boredom and destructive behavior. Support animal welfare organizations that advocate for responsible pet ownership, legislative interventions, and veterinary access. Raise awareness about dog-related issues, educating others about safe handling, responsible dog walking, and the importance of spaying/neutering.

The Wagging Tail-End: A Life Enriched by Canine Companionship

Dog care, though demanding, is ultimately a journey of love, laughter, and unwavering companionship. By understanding their needs, addressing modern challenges, and adopting responsible practices, we can ensure our canine companions live long, happy, and healthy lives. Let us cherish our furry friends, honor their unconditional love, and advocate for their well-being in a world that needs their wagging tails and playful spirits more than ever. Remember, adopting a dog isn't just about gaining a pet; it's about welcoming a loyal friend and enriching your life with boundless joy. Now, go forth, pet some pups, and spread the love

Here's the best way to express your love and solidarity with dogs. Let the world see you

Canine COVID: The New Respiratory Disease in Canines

CCU Family,

We are making this post to make sure you have the most relevant and important information on the new disease sweeping through the United States, affecting hundreds of dogs every week. It originated in Oregon but is now sweeping across the United States.

What is it?

What should I look for?

Common symptoms include mild to moderate cough, sneezing, diarrhea, and recurring or chronic pneumonia that is non-responsive to antibiotics. If your canine has been coughing for 6–8 weeks and is seemingly unresponsive to antibiotics or has presented with pneumonia for the first time and is no longer responding to antibiotics, you should seek emergency veterinarian care. Visit us for more information :- k9 training

What should I do?

Most importantly, make sure your canine is up to date on all vaccines: vaccinate your dogs for K9 influenza, Bordetella, and parainfluenza. Additionally, avoid sharing food and water dishes between animals, including those in your home. Dog parks, unnecessary grooming, and unnecessary exposure to other animals should be avoided at all cost.

If your pups show signs of a persistent cough or any of the above symptoms, seek immediate veterinarian care.

How serious is it?

This disease is very serious. In the same way COVID swept across the globe, we have already seen a rapid increase in spreading in the United States. Visit us for more information :- working dogs

What is CCU doing to prevent the spread?

Our Kennel Master has implemented an emergency action plan for all Kennel Technicians, Trainers, and Handlers to follow carefully. Included in this plan is the increased sanitization of shared kennel spaces, more frequent cleaning of all kennels, and more careful observation of canine behaviors.

As has always been the case, we require all canines to be fully vaccinated before stepping foot on CCU’s campus, as they must be cleared by the Kennel Master beforehand. Additionally, all Technicians, Trainers, and Handlers are required to perform health checks on the canine before beginning training or removing the canine from a vehicle or kennel.

From New Hampshire to Oregon, researchers are trying to figure out what’s causing an infectious respiratory disease among dogs that has turned deadly in rare cases.

The mysterious illness is described as an “atypical canine infectious respiratory disease,” the Oregon Department of Agriculture said in a November 9 news release. Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, eye or nose discharge and lethargy.

Veterinarians in Oregon have reported more than 200 cases of the disease since mid-August. Other cases have been reported in Colorado, Illinois and New Hampshire.

. . .

And the disease is generally resistant to standard treatments, said Dr. David B. Needle, a pathologist at the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and clinical associate professor at the University of New Hampshire.

“Fatalities do not seem to be a large part of the syndrome we are investigating, with rare animals developing an acute and sometimes fatal pneumonia after the longer chronic disease,” Needle said. “We think these may represent secondary infections.”

. . .

Dog owners should help keep their pets healthy by making sure they’re up-to-date on all vaccines, such as those for canine influenza, Bordetella and parainfluenza, the association said. Other tips include:

• Reducing contact with large numbers of unknown dogs. Just like with other respiratory pathogens, the more contacts your dog has, the greater the risk of encountering a dog that’s infectious.

• Reducing contact with sick dogs. This can be harder to determine but if a dog looks sick (coughing, runny nose, runny eyes), keep your dog away from it.

• Keep sick dogs at home and seek veterinary care.

• Avoid communal water bowls shared by multiple dogs.
