In New Mexico News:
In collaboration with state and federal animal health officials, the New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA) is advising pet owners on how to protect dogs against a canine respiratory syndrome. Symptoms of the canine respiratory syndrome may include: trouble breathing, wheezing, coughing, sneezing, fever and loss of appetite. To help mitigate the risk of this illness to dogs, New Mexicans are encouraged to avoid areas such as dog parks, grooming facilities and boarding centers, especially if their dogs are not fully vaccinated or are at higher risk of illness. The NMDA recommends pet owners contact their veterinarian immediately if their dog is experiencing any of these symptoms. For more information, visit the website.
