Many of us were ill thanks to the dreaded human flu, and we\u2019re glad to finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It\u2019s interesting that canine flu has recently become a focus, especially in dog-loving circles. And while it\u2019s not seasonal, and it\u2019s not new, there are a few things that the team at Felton Veterinary Hospital thought you should know about this disease that affects our best friends. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canine Flu Basics<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two strains of Canine Influenza Virus (CIV). The most recent strain (H3N2) &nbsp;was identified following an outbreak in March of 2015 and affected dogs in the Chicago area. There have now been a few thousand cases of H3N2 reported in 30 states. &nbsp;There\u2019s no evidence that H3N2 can infect people. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CIV is spread through aerosolized droplets that are spread from dog to dog through coughing, sneezing, and barking. Dogs in close living quarters are most at risk &#8211; those dogs who go to the groomer, spend time at daycare or go to a boarding facility. CIV can also be spread indirectly through shared objects such as food and water bowls, leashes and collars, and people who have been in contact with infected dogs. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common signs of canine flu include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coughing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sneezing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wheezing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fever<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nasal discharge<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infected dogs usually show signs of the disease 2 &#8211; 8 days after being infected. Most dogs have a mild form of the disease, but some can exhibit more serious signs, including pneumonia, high fevers, and increased respiratory effort. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disease symptoms are very similar to kennel cough and other canine respiratory illnesses, and risk factors are also similar. For these reasons, the only diagnosis for CIV is through an advanced blood test.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment for CIV is largely supportive; nursing care and good nutrition can help your dog mount an effective immune response. Most dogs recover in 2 &#8211; 3 weeks. If your dog is geriatric, a short-faced breed, pregnant, or at risk of tracheal collapse, we will discuss other treatments that may be recommended. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the disease is spread so easily between dog to dog, it is recommended that infected dogs be isolated (even those in the same household) for 4 weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protect Your Dog<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevention of canine flu takes a village! First, if your dog is exhibiting any of the signs of CIV, isolate them right away. Call us to come in &#8211; and be aware that we may ask you have your dog wait with you in the car until we can see you. We want to prevent the possibility of infecting any dogs in the waiting room. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dogs who are social and go to dog parks, groomers, boarding or daycare facilities are more at risk. But it doesn\u2019t mean your pup can\u2019t go about their daily activities. If your pet is high risk, consider these precautions: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Ask us about vaccination \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> there is a vaccine now that prevents both strains of canine flu. Like the human flu vaccine, it\u2019s not 100% &#8211; it may not prevent your dog from getting CIV. But, it has been shown to minimize symptoms and shorten the duration of the disease. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Practice good hygiene \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> don\u2019t allow your pet to share objects such as toys or food\/ water dishes with unfamiliar dogs. Wash your hands often. And, change and wash your clothes if you\u2019ve been in contact with new dogs as the virus can survive on objects. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Assess the risk \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if your pet is immune compromised, geriatric, or very young, it might be wise to assess if social activities with unfamiliar dogs is worth the risk. Talk to us &#8211; we\u2019re happy to help you make this decision. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel your pet is sick, it\u2019s important to have them examined right away. By taking some extra precautions, being aware, and by vaccinating, you\u2019ll be on the right track to preventing CIV in your dog. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This winter has been quite the flu season!
