Friends and local clients: We have seen an abrupt increase in acute respiratory disease. Symptoms include severe coughing to the point of hacking up flem/discharge, decreased appetite, and general malaise, with and without a fever. These symptoms are most consistent with kennel cough, which is a highly contagious respiratory infection.
We are seeing these symptoms from patients who have been to daycare, boarding, grooming, the dog park, etc. We are in no way blaming any of these organizations as dogs can often be asymptomatic and you do not know there has even been exposure until days later.
At this time, we recommend you exercise caution in taking your dogs to public places that aren't completely necessary.
Please let us know if we can help. We appreciate the patrons who have been patient about waiting in their vehicles with their sick dogs as we try our best to protect everyone else and prevent the further spread of disease.
