We want to make you aware that Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex – (CIRDC) (also called dog pneumonia). cases are on the rise in the Northeast including New Hampshire.
This is a potentially serious disease especially in young dogs, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
SYMPTOMS TO LOOK FOR:
- Deep Cough
- Fever
- Rapid Breathing
- Wheezing
- Runny Nose
- Appetite and weight loss
- Lethargy
- Intolerance to Exercise
CIRDC can be transmitted easily between dogs even before showing symptoms. It is airborne and also can be spread through direct contact.
If you notice any symptoms, contact your veterinarian, and keep your dog at home. Early intervention can be critical to your dog’s speedy recovery.
We at All Dogs Gym are very aware of this illness and doing everything possible to eliminate it through regular, thorough disinfecting and cleaning, and immediate removal of any dog showing symptoms.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us. Given the high number of cases we’re currently hearing about from local veterinary clinics, if you wish to err on the side of caution and cancel a reservation, we fully understand and will issue a full store credit.
