CANINE INFLUENZA ALERT: We have been closely monitoring the outbreak of the H3N2 Canine Influenza Virus since it first appeared in 2015 in Chicago. Recently, the virus has spread and is very close to entering Jackson County. All dogs that come into contact with the virus can become infected and up to 10% that are infected have died. There is a vaccine available to help protect your dog from this Canine Influenza Virus. At this time, all area veterinarians are recommending you vaccinate your dog. Your dog is at risk if you take your dog to any of the following: Groomers, kennels, doggy daycares, dog parks, if you are traveling to any of the areas with outbreaks of the virus, veterinary hospitals, dog shows, pet stores, obedience classes, or anywhere where your dog could come into contact with other dogs (including neighborhoods with other dogs). Your dog will need two doses of the vaccine given two weeks apart, then once yearly. The virus can travel up to 20 feet and can live on surfaces for 48 hours. Symptoms of the virus include coughing that persists up to 30 days, lethargy, fever, sneezing, discharge from the eyes and nose, no appetite, and in severe case, will develop pneumonia. Should your dog exhibit any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately and isolate your dog from other dogs. There are some cases of the virus being passed to cats, but at this time there is no vaccine for cats. Should you have questions regarding Canine Influenza or to have your dog vaccinated, please contact Seymour Animal Hospital at (812)522-2178.
