Pet Owners worry as the influenza goes endemic, with no vaccine in sight to curb it

Chestnut Ridge

What has turned out to be a new disease, canine influenza, or dog flu, is spreading steadily through the Untied States affecting dogs, with no vaccine available to curb it.Perhaps 5 percent of its victims are dying.

Positive Readings

Cynda Crawford, a veterinary immunologist, said researchers are getting positive readings on 30 percent to 40 percent of the blood and tissue samples sent in by veterinarians who think they might be treating a dog with influenza. The symptoms include cough, low - grade fever and a runny nose. Exactly how many dogs have died is unclear. Dr. Crawford said many of the animals were young and otherwise healthy.
Many pet owners and veterinarians have been fooled because some of the symptoms mimic a common, less dangerous bacterial infection known as kernal cough. Mr.Dubovi
said research are at work on a vaccine, but it could be months before it becomes available.
 

About Dog Flu

•  The H3N8 influenza virus has jumped from horses to dogs. 
• This H3N8 virus causes ‘dog flu’. 
• Initial findings of H3N8 infected dogs were at a Florida greyhound racing track. 
• H3N8 virus causes symptoms that mimic traditional ‘kennel cough’. 
• ‘Kennel cough’ is typically caused by bordetella bronchispetica bacterium. 
• Other symptoms of H3N8 infection are nasal discharge and fever. 
• Both H3N8 and bordetella are contagious between dogs. 
• Dogs diagnosed with H3N8 infection should be isolated. 
• Approximately 80% of H3N8 infections will be mild. 
• A small minority of infected dogs may experience complications such as pneumonia. 
• A small minority of infected dogs will also be asymptomatic and will not show any  signs of the infection. However, it is believed that asymptomatic dogs are infectious. 
• The H3N8 virus has never infected humans. 
• H3N8 causes a morbidity rate of 5 to 8% in infected dogs. 
• There have been verified occurrences of H3N8 in dogs in South Florida shelters, boarding facilities and veterinary clinics. 
• H3N8 has also been verified in New York City and Massachusetts. 
• If a pet dog exhibits coughing, nasal discharge or fever, the dog should be treated by a veterinarian as soon as possible.
• Dog owners that have a dog that recently had a respiratory infection should keep their dogs home  for a couple of weeks after the illness to not infect other dogs.
