Distemper Outbreak Claims Lives of 25 Dogs at Cincinnati Animal Shelter

Cincinnati Animal CARE has restricted all dog intakes until further notice due to multiple confirmed cases of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV), which has already led to the deaths of 25 dogs. The shelter is working with an expert on CDV to manage the outbreak and is emphasizing the need for community sheltering of dogs in the region. CDV mostly affects unvaccinated dogs and puppies, and the shelter is urging pet owners to vaccinate their pets. The outbreak is uncommon in the region, and it's still unclear where it originated. The shelter is accepting donations to help make the quarantine more bearable for the dogs.

Distemper outbreak leads to euthanasia of 25 dogs at Hamilton County shelter.

25 dogs have been euthanized due to Canine Distemper Virus at Cincinnati Animal CARE shelter in Hamilton County. The shelter has restricted intake and adoptions, but still faces challenges as the disease continues to spread. The shelter is testing dogs daily and moving those who tested positive but are asymptomatic or experiencing mild symptoms to another off-site facility. Dogs who tested negative with antibodies have been medically cleared for adoption or foster. The shelter urges the community to keep lost dogs in the neighborhood to reduce the risk of exposure to viruses and increase the chances of reuniting them with their families.

Canine Distemper Virus Outbreak Claims Lives of Dogs in Cincinnati Animal Shelters

Four dogs at Cincinnati Animal CARE have died from Canine Distemper Virus, a contagious disease that primarily affects unvaccinated dogs and puppies. The shelter has temporarily paused on-site dog intake and adoptions, and all dogs at the Northside shelter will be in quarantine until they are medically cleared. The CARE team will be housing all incoming dogs at an off-site facility, and adoptions will resume as soon as possible. The shelter advises people to keep animals out of the shelter, vaccinate their animals, and not bring their dogs to public spaces where other animals could be if they are not fully vaccinated.
