Deadly Dog Virus By Curt Autry

A new virus is striking dogs in the middle of the country, and if not treated, it has the potential to kill an infected animal in just days. There's no vaccine. In other animals, it's been highly infectious, and scientists still can't say with certainty how it's transmitted. What is certain is this disease could be deadly, especially in kennel set-tings. Even though cases have been limited to just three states so far - California, Michigan, and Ohio – some Richmond Vets fear it's just a matter of time until it makes its way here.

Dr. Olivia Pan is keeping up with all of the latest informa-tion for when it does, because early study results are frighten-ing.

"They're suspecting the dogs can bleed into their cavities, their chest into their abdo-men, and those are some of the more serious ones that would bleed to their deaths," said Dr. Pan.

It's called circovirus. Vets have been aware of it for years but mainly in pig popula-tions - it can decimate a hog farm in just a week. Certain pet birds also seem suscepti-ble, especially parrots, parakeets and cockatoos. What's new is, the virus has never made the jump to dogs - until now.

WITH THE HOLIDAYS JUST AROUND THE CORNER…

WHAT FOODS SHOULD YOU NEVER FEED YOUR DOG?

There are certain foods that you should not feed your dog under any occasion. While individual cases will vary based on breed, weight, and other factors - in general this list of foods applies to all dogs and should be carefully followed to avoid accidents.

JUST BECAUSE HUMANS LIKE IT, DOESN'T MEAN DOGS WILL

Foods that are perfectly suitable for human consumption, as well as other animals, may be toxic and

even poisonous to your dog, posing a serious threat to it's health and well-being. Why? Because all

animals have very different rates of metabolism. Metabolism is basically the process of breaking

down food and turning it into energy.

LIST OF FOODS NOT TO FEED YOUR DOG

APPLE SEEDS AVOCADO BABY FOOD COOKED BONES CANDY/GUM CAT FOOD CITRUS OIL CHOCOLATE COFFEE CORN ON THE COB GRAPES/RASINS HOPS HUMAN VITAMINS LIVER MACADAMIA NUTS ONIONS PEACH AND PLUM PITS TOBACCO XYLITOL
