Social dogs in Baytown should get flu vaccine, officials say

"Virtually all dogs exposed to the virus become infected, but not all dogs exposed to the virus show symptoms," laboratory experts said. BAYTOWN, Texas - Officials at the Baytown Health Department are recommending dog owners vaccinate their dog against canine influenza. "The report says that nearly 80 percent of dogs show symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, lethargy, reduced appetite and fever." Extra precautions may be needed with puppies, elderly or pregnant dogs, as well as dogs with weak immune systems. Officials said the Texas A&M lab is monitoring several cases of canine influenza across Texas, including two in Harris County.
