Could a 'funky' pathogen be sickening dogs? Scientists search for clues
NPRCould a 'funky' pathogen be sickening dogs? "The cough is pretty significant and it's resistant to normal treatment," says Needle, senior pathologist at the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. Sponsor Message "If it wasn't for the fact that there were newer, potential outbreaks of a similar respiratory syndrome, we really wouldn't have come forward," he says. "Until we can put the dots together in the coming weeks to month, there is no certainty at all that what we've seen is even what's going on in the other places," says Needle. An outbreak in the Pacific Northwest raises more questions Meanwhile, Oregon state health officials have reported more than 200 cases of an "atypical canine infectious respiratory disease" since late summer.
