I have been reading about the newly discovered influenza virus in
dogs for several months now and it appears to me that the most
significant point to hold in one's mind is that, being a recent
mutation, 100% of canines are susceptible and this is the point that
I made when I wrote this up for our parent club Health Times.
Therefore any dog with a cough has to be suspect and should be
essentially quarantined, though it is quickly apparent that this
will be closing the barn door, in effect. Once the dog has
developed symptoms, other dogs around him are going to have been
exposed. And the second important point is to be on the lookout for
extreme elevations of temp to indicate a possible secondary
infection. Beyond that, without a vaccine, there is not much to do
but maintain good health to support the immune system. Viral
infections are usually self limited.
