Add Comment RABIES IN COLORADO
Rabies is a serious worldwide viral disease of most mammals. Unfortunately, the disease is of epidemic proportions in many of the undeveloped countries of the world, and accounts for a significant number of human as well as animal deaths each year. Rabies is preventable with a proper vaccination program. Canine Influenza is a highly contagious viral respiratory infection. The disease is believed to have mutated from a strain found in horses. The first outbreaks were found in racing greyhounds in Florida and New York in 2004. It has since been noted in 24 states, including Colorado, as of December 2005.
Canine Influenza has been known to mimic kennel cough. Clinical signs include a cough that can be soft and productive or harsh and dry. Some dogs may have nasal discharge, a fever, or other signs related to pneumonia. Dogs exhibiting these signs are to be considered contagious. Contagious dogs should be kept away... We wanted to take a second and wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. We are extremely lucky to have the oppotunity to work with you and your pets and it is with this appreciation that we come to work every day. Thanksgiving is an exciting time of year for everyone, since many students are back home with their families (and pets!). We hope everyone has a pleasant time break from work/school over the next few days. As you can imagine, pets shouldn't be fed turkey. So, we'll give you the 'ok' to give them an extra dog or cat treat to make up for it. Best wishes from our family to yours.
