Dog Flu [??!?!??? are you f’n kidding me?!??!]
While fears of a flu pandemic among humans have shifted from the lethal H5N1 avian flu to the relatively mild H1N1 swine flu, the H3N8 canine flu has been a quiet undercurrent in the United States, rarely discussed except among veterinarians and dog owners in the few areas where it has struck hard: Florida, New York City’s northern suburbs, Philadelphia and Denver.
Yes. Flu. That your dog gets.
It’s the H3N8 dog flu. And there’s a vaccine. “...the dogs that tend to die from it are the “brachycephalics” — dogs with short snub noses.”
