The Doctors at New Paltz Animal Hospital want to address the recent Canine Respiratory Disease Outbreak. While there is no reported cases currently in New York State at the moment we suspect that it will eventually make its way here and ask dog parents to be aware of what to look for and what precautions to take. We urge anyone who may think that their dog is not well in any way to contact us immediately and schedule an appointment to be seen. We recommend if your dog is exhibiting any of the below stated symptoms that you quarantine them from any other pets in the household until they can be seen by your Veterinarian. If you are bringing your dog in to be seen due to any of the below named symptoms please let the staff know that you have arrived for your appointment by calling or stopping in first before bringing your dog into the building. We will post updates as we find out more about this disease.

What is it?

This infection has similar symptoms to canine influenza and kennel cough and the cause of this illness has not yet been determined.

How it speads:

This infection is spread through direct contact or through water droplets from sneezing and coughing.

Common signs of canine respiratory illness;

· Coughing
