Canine flu

[draggar]

The mutated strain of H3N8 (Equine flu) has already done its damage here in south Florida (ground zero for the outbreak here in the USA).

Has anyone experienced this with their vlcaks yet? How was it? Was it as unpredicatable with severity than what's been reported in the general dog population (in late 2005 we saw this, too, Zorro was the worst affected (and he is our healthiest dog!), MacLeod and Bella had some symptoms, but nothing too severe, and Maiya didn't show any symptoms).

What is worrying me a little is that H3N2 (a strain of avian flu) has crossed over to dogs in Korea (no reports outside Korea yet) and with the rate dogs travel around the world it could come here to the USA and give us a second round of this nightmare.

Also, any experts on this (canine flu) in here? (Mainly for brain picking)
