⚠️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING INFECTIOU

⚠️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING INFECTIOUS CANINE RESPIRATORY DISEASE COMPLEX

Hello to our Pine Valley Community,

This news story is gaining traction nationwide and we wanted to give some advice to you. First off, don’t panic!

There have been several cases of canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC) in Oregon and several other states. The cause of the illness has not yet been identified, but it is most likely viral and contagious. The state veterinarians and veterinary schools are working to figure it out.
Some patients simply have a cough and recover; some are developing more serious illnesses, such as pneumonia, which can be life-threatening.

We have not seen any cases here at Pine Valley Animal Hospital at this time, although we have heard of some reports in the southeastern US. There are a few steps you can take to avoid having your canine companion get exposed…

✅ Avoid public dog parks and areas where you know other dogs to frequent (boarding, grooming, daycare, etc).

✅ If friends and family are visiting you for the holidays and bringing dogs, ask them if their dogs are up to date with their respiratory vaccines (Bordetella, Canine influenza, Para influenza) and if their dogs are having any symptoms or have potentially been exposed to other dogs.

✅ Make sure your dog is up to date on their respiratory vaccines.

If your dog begins to show symptoms (lethargy, cough, poor appetite, difficulty breathing) you should contact your veterinarian for advice or seek urgent or emergency medical care.

Stay safe this holiday season!
From Dr. Tarter, Dr. Lantzer and the team at PVAH

Tomorrow's the day we gobble 'til we wobble! And we know those puppy eyes can be hard to resist, but remember: NO TABLE SCRAPS FOR YOUR PETS! Trust us, their tummies won't thank you. Keep the feast on the human plates and toss your fur babies some pet-approved treats instead—think carrots for crunch or a bit of pumpkin, a slice of apple (no seeds), or some plain, white meat turkey (no bones!) As always, everything in moderation!

Stay safe, enjoy your Thanksgiving, and we'll see you Friday with bellies full but not in trouble! 🦃🐶🐱
