Surge in Mysterious Dog Illness Spreads Across Multiple States

Veterinarians in Wisconsin are warning dog owners about a possible new canine illness called atypical canine respiratory disease, which has been showing up in the state since late October. The illness presents as a persistent cough that lasts for several weeks and is not as responsive to common treatments for kennel cough. The cause of the illness is still unknown, but it is believed to be a novel pathogen or a mutated virus or bacteria. While there is little evidence that the illness is deadly for most dogs, precautions such as ensuring dogs receive their core vaccinations and avoiding group settings are recommended. Young dogs and those with pre-existing illnesses are particularly vulnerable.
