 Canine Circovirus Update

      The state veterinary testing lab announced yesterday that they have a test for this condition. The Michigan Dept of Agriculture reiterated that we do not know much about the virus or how it is spread. Most, but not all, affected dogs seem to have a coexisting infection. There is no indication that the virus can be spread to/from humans.

      With such limited information, it would be prudent to avoid areas of dog congregation for a month or so while the prevalence and character of the virus is determined. This is especially important for congregations of dogs with unknown health or vaccination status. If your dog shows symptoms of any illness, it should not be taken to public or canine congregation areas.

      Leader Dog has not experienced any serious or suspicious cases at this time.
