Anyone with concerns about their dog's health, or whose pet is showing symptoms of canine influenza, should contact their veterinarian as soon as possible. The illness can be mild or severe, but the majority of infected dogs recover within 2-3 weeks. Symptoms of the disease may include a soft, moist cough OR a dry cough similar to that induced by kennel cough; discharge from the nose or eyes; sneezing; lethargy; low-grade fever (normal temperature for a dog is between 100 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit); and loss of appetite.
The ongoing outbreak in the Chicago area has been traced to a different strain of the virus than originally thought, and marks the first identification of this subtype (H3N2) outside of Asia. It is not yet known if the current vaccine for Canine Influenza H3N8 will provide any cross-immunity to dogs exposed to the H3N2 strain. As we learn more, we will keep you posted. For the most recently updated information about canine influenza, please refer to this resource from the American Veterinary Medical Association:
