Canine Flu help from the Seeing Eye

Many of you are aware of the Canine Flu that is going around- here are some precautionary steps and recommendations to follow:

1. Don't panic.
2. Any dog with symptoms (fever, lethargy, coughing, nasal discharge) should stay home from any group activities until 10 days after complete recovery. Have any dogs with symptoms seen by your veterinarian. When contacting the veterinarian to make an appointment, tell what signs the dog has. The veterinarian may want to take special precautions for a potential contagious disease like an end of day appointment.
3. Dogs can participate in their regular club activities with other dogs as long as they are healthy and haven't been boarder within 10 days.
4. Don't share water/food dishes and toys among dogs that are not within the same home.
5. Avoid contact with dogs in public areas.
6. Dogs should not participate in public events where there are likely to be lots of other dogs.
7. Avoid boarding if possible. This is a risk factor for exposure to the disease.
8. Any dog that does have to be boarded cannot return to campus within 10 days of boarding.
