"Concerns Rise as Mystery Canine Respiratory Illness Spreads Across US and Canada"

A mysterious respiratory illness affecting dogs in the US has put pet owners in Michigan on edge. While there have been no confirmed cases in the state, veterinarians are urging clients to stay calm, ensure their pets are up to date on vaccinations, and educate themselves about the disease. Samples from sick canines are being tested by researchers in Michigan to determine the cause of the illness, which can lead to a prolonged cough or pneumonia. The illness is characterized by a cough that lasts for weeks and is less responsive to antibiotics. Veterinarians are advising pet owners to be cautious in communal settings and seek early treatment if their dogs develop respiratory symptoms.
