Vaccination Clinic/Distemper Status |
June 24, 2009 - Our Vaccination Clinic yesterday was very successful. We saw 46 dogs. Six dogs have now tested positive for distemper (of the 6, 1 died & 2 were euthanized). Five others are suspected to have distemper, but are not yet tested. If your dog is not vaccinated, get it done soon!

Two Cases of Canine Distemper |
June 16, 2009 - Two dogs have tested positive for canine distemper (wikipedia reference) this week. This is a virus that is contagious in dogs and many do not survive it. If you have vaccinated your dog, it has probably had a distemper vaccination. Check your vaccination records. Symptoms include runny nose and eyes, vomiting and diarrhea, fever, dehydration, excessive salivation, coughing and/or labored breathing, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Other symptoms includes involuntary twitching of muscles and seizures. Call 318-4150 to schedule your dog for a vaccination.
