don't play Russian Roulette with your dog, get the shot

Even FOX news did a report on this on TV and they are not FAKE NEWS!!!!!:coolsmiley:

YES, THIS disease is also airborne, and if you go to a park and a dog starts coughing, it is highly contagious. Also there is fever and other issues. I stopped taking my dog to the park, when I noticed undisciplined behavior with aggressive dogs. The neighborhood walks are good, but it is airborne, and all it takes is some visiting unsuspecting dog from out of state or renter, to make your life and your pets a living hell for 30 days.

I have an acquaintance, who had one dog sick, an had diarrhea, vomiting and fever for almost 3 weeks with IV's. $5,000 later the dog survived, instead it could have had the $28 shot + booster. We are learning from others. She new of others at kennels that are showing that died. It's not talked about or hushed up in some circles. Please get your dog vaccinated!:boom:

If they don't they should!

The shot is available this Saturday the 15th at Walgreens, Colony, 9:30-10:30and maybe other Walgreen's check around, better than waiting a few weeks! conctact shotvet.com

You should check again, things are out of hand in some areas. Do your research on line! The virus is spreading and don't fool yourself! or your pet!

Now read today's paper, and go on line to see what other states are dealing with issues. Everyone in my neighborhood knows the issue, and I am totally staying away from dogs that aren't vaccinated.

My dog had a bad reaction to the Lyme vaccination/ booster. After discussing with my vet, we have decided not to vaccinate.

Please watch these u tube videos on the canine dog flu

Here's my big guestion??????OCALA HAS CLOSED THEIR DOG PARKS DUE TO THE CANINE FLU WHICH HAS INFECTED THE AREA, WHY AREN'T THE VILLAGES CLOSING THEIR DOG PARKS AS WELL, WE LIVE IN A BUBBLE, BUT YOU CAN'T IGNORE WHAT'S GOING ON AS IF IT DOESN'T EXIST. i RAN into a German Shepard and owner last month who visited the dog park on Moyer Loop (South end) and had diarrhea and vomiting for a month, what happened to that dog?????

I preferred not to show up at Walgreens along with however many other dogs, one of whom just may be contagious.

But I had NO trouble getting my dog into Park Heights for his first shot or scheduling time for booster. Same day I called. The dogs don't have to be seen by a vet and incur an examination charge. A tech can give the shot.

Has anyone else had trouble getting a shot at Buffalo Ridge?

Beau got his at Buffalo Ridge today. The first one and they had an assembly line going of sorts and they have a sign that people should not bring pooches which are coughing into the waiting area. They say to call them and they will come to you. Lots of canines there they short time I was there.

They seemed to have a lot of staff on hand. I may take it easy with Beau and the dog park for the next few weeks and wander around the Villages in other areas where I can keep a distance from unknown dogs. Or just go to Doggie Doo Run Run when almost no one else is there.

We had our dog vaccinated for the flu at Buffalo Ridge (2 shots). It wasn't a same day appointment but I didn't expect that.
I've been happy with the veterinarians at Buffalo Ridge.

Bare, why not call down there to your vet and ask? I haven't heard of any new cases, but I haven't paid attention to the issue since having Crosby vaccinated. I was a little surprised that the foster group would not agree to pay for having Annie vaccinated, so maybe its not so much of an issue anymore. But I can't swear to it.
