"Unexplained Canine Respiratory Illness Sparks Nationwide Concern"

Veterinarians in Pensacola, Florida, are concerned about a mysterious respiratory illness affecting dogs, which starts with a cough and can progress to pneumonia, sometimes resulting in death. Cases of the illness have been reported in multiple states, and while the cause remains unknown, it is suspected to be part of the canine infectious respiratory disease complex. Symptoms include a productive cough, runny nose, loss of appetite, and lethargy. The disease is spread through droplets and mists when dogs cough, and veterinarians recommend limiting exposure to other dogs outside of immediate family. Prompt veterinary attention is advised if a dog shows signs of illness, as early treatment can prevent the disease from progressing. There is no evidence that the illness can be transmitted from dogs to humans.
