Hundreds of dogs across multiple states have been struck down with a severe respiratory illness. Veterinarians suspect a mystery bacteria but are still grasping for clues.
Thanks, I dunno either. I mentioned it a few times every time this mystery respiratory illness comes up and it’s always immediate downvotes.
It’s funny, it’s obviously a notorious respiratory illness and we know animals can get it. Aside from lemmy, I’m more confused as to why so many articles are talking about a respiratory illness but aren’t speculating that covid, the most recent global, mutating, virulent respiratory illness, is a possible if not probable factor.
Maybe people just really don’t want to talk about covid anymore, newswriters or lemmings?
I have a suspicion it’s Covid or maybe mixed with some other canine influenza. Possible it’s a brand new variant. Cats can get canine influenza too. I think the canine influenza vaccine would help especially older dogs and those with health issues. I think the canine influenza vaccine might be in short supply still.
Asher house in Oregon got hit hard. It’s a dog sanctuary, the owner has a large tiktok following and people helped buy oxygen chambers for his dogs. Some of the dogs get acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) within a couple of days. Or they seem to get better but then they suddenly get very sick again and that’s the same thing that happened with people and covid with “happy hypoxia” and then it gets worse. Poor dogs probably get fibrosis in the lungs from the scars.
