In NYC in the last month there have been nearly 100 dogs diagnosed with the dog flu. To learn more, I interviewed Dr. Andrea Y. Tu of Park East Animal Hospital and Veterinary Behavior Consultations of NYC.
H3N2 is believed to have originated in birds and was first detected in dogs in South Korea in 2007. It was identified in March 2015 in the Chicago area; it most likely spread from dogs rescued from South Korea and brought to the US for adoption.
In this episode, Dr. Tu addresses the following concerns, among others:
-How the flu spreads
-How you can keep your dog safe
-What to do if your dog is infected
-What to do if you run a facility that is frequented by dogs
