In today’s bonus episode, Dr. Shirley shares some recent developments surrounding canine influenza. One recent severe outbreak in the Birmingham area led to closures of dog related services in the city and infectious disease protocols in veterinary clinics. Middle Tennessee has seen an uptick in diagnosed cases as well.
