CANINE INFLUENZA (Dog Flu) REMAINS A THREAT TO YOUR CANINE COMPANION
Canine Influenza is a newly emerging infectious disease caused by a "flu" virus. In dogs, a highly contagious strain of the influenza A virus known as H3N8 is able to cause respiratory illness. The most common sign of canine influenza is a persistent cough. Since the Fall of 2009 we have had to hospitalize over 35 patients due to pneumonia.
Recently, a new canine influenza vaccine was approved for use in the United States. Canine Influenza Vaccine, H3N8 has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the severity of influenza and the length of time that a dog is sick.
Because of the highly infectious nature of this disease and the close proximity of our canine companions, Society Hill Veterinary Hospital currently recommends that all of our canine patients receive the H3N8 canine influenza vaccine. Please call to schedule your companion's vaccine today.
