Veterinarians are encouraging dog owners to be cautious about a new mystery respiratory illness affecting dogs in the U.S.
Some of the first reports of the “atypical canine infectious respiratory illness,” which has symptoms similar to kennel cough and respiratory infections, appeared in Oregon in August.
“In August 2023, the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) received reports of an atypical canine infectious respiratory illness being seen in dogs in the Portland Metro and Willamette Valley areas over the summer. To date, ODA has received over 200 reports of atypical canine infectious respiratory disease from Oregon veterinarians,” the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association shared in a release about the illness.
