"Decline in Mysterious Dog Respiratory Illness Cases in Colorado"

A surge of mysterious respiratory illnesses in dogs, known as canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC), has abated after peaking in late 2023, with cases dropping to usual levels within the first few weeks of January. The cause of the wave and its subsequent decline remains elusive, with no single pathogen identified as solely responsible. While concerns arose about a potential link to Covid-19, experts have ruled out SARS-CoV2 as the driving force behind the illnesses. As the situation stabilizes, veterinarians advise dog owners to consider the risks and benefits of returning to dog parks and other social settings, emphasizing the importance of vaccinations and understanding individual risk factors for each dog.

Mysterious Dog Illness Spreads Nationwide, Vets Advise Caution

Several veterinary hospitals in the Triad region of North Carolina have reported an influx of dogs presenting with symptoms of a respiratory illness, including coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, and lethargy. While North Carolina has not reported any cases of the canine respiratory illness, other states have, prompting concerns among dog owners. The American Veterinary Medical Association is investigating the infection, which appears to fall into three main syndromes: chronic tracheobronchitis, chronic pneumonia, and acute pneumonia. Veterinarians advise dog owners to ensure their pets are up to date on vaccines and limit their contact with other dogs, as the illness is highly contagious. However, they also reassure owners that the illness does not seem to be zoonotic, meaning it does not spread between dogs and humans or dogs and cats.
