Today's New York Times reports on a new dog flu that has proven deadly for some dogs. There's no vaccine for this disease.
According to the article, the extent of the risk/spread may have been exaggerated so far, but it's definitely out there, contagious and very dangerous. So read the article.
If you have a dog or dogs, watch for illness and get treatment for anything that may be related to this flu. This sounds serious to me!
Thanks for the advice. My dog isn't dog friendly so won't get too close, but I hope it isn't transferable via urine, smelling etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing that info! I was just doing a Google for diabetes blogs, when I ended up here. My dog's a homebody, but my aunt's dog has a grooming appointment on Monday. I don't know how that'll play out... but, again, thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw that piece in the paper and it spooked me!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
