Veterinarians want you to keep a closer eye on your dogs when comes to taking them to their offices, boarding facilities, parks, and more. Atypical canine respiratory disease has been reported in Wisconsin, and it carries symptoms similar to kennel cough. A colorful nasal discharge, a lack of appetite, uneasy breathing, and drowsiness are the symptoms you should look for if your dog is not acting like itself. If you plan to take your pet to places with dogs, Dr. Jordan Kobilca from Door County Veterinary Hospital in Sturgeon Bay says you should consider other options if possible.

Kobilca says dogs should be okay on their own if they get the disease, but in some cases, they could develop pneumonia, which could require antibiotics. He also reminds owners that they should practice their own good hygiene as it is a disease you can bring home to your dog without knowing it.
