A local veterinarian is warning pet owners after seeing an unusual increase in the number of sick dogs that are being treated at their clinic.
One of the other common denominators among four-legged patients is their recent activity, including trips to the dog park, dog beaches, groomers and more.NBC 7 visited a dog park in Encinitas and spoke with Claire Romero, who owns a Great Dane named Willow. Romero explained she believes Willow might have had the illness Leslie is referring to.
“She got a cold. She was really congested. It was a couple of weeks ago and she had like yellow snot coming out of her nose and just like coughing,” Romero said. “We could hear her when she was sleeping in the morning just breathing. Like you could hear it down in her lungs.” Willow was able to recover within a couple of days without needing to visit the veterinarian. Thankfully, according to Leslie, all of the dogs that she knows of who have been treated for this mystery illness lately have made a full recovery. She also noted it is not impacting other furry friends in multi-pet homes, like cats.
"I don't want people to panic. I don't want them to upheave their whole life with their dog, their routine, their future plans, but we do recommend that they stay up to date on vaccinations and I would consider avoiding large groups of dogs for the next few weeks, if that's possible for your family, just while this hopefully dissipates," Leslie said.
Leslie encourages anyone who is concerned their dog may be experiencing this illness to visit their veterinarian.
