I think you'd be better off sharing a news article, as there have been quite a few. I'm partial to this one, which includes info from one of the greatest veterinary microbiologists ever:

Thank you, all of the news stories I found were from the 15th and nothing current. Since that publication, things have gotten worse. Thank you for putting that there.

It is serious but from everything my vet told me it's rarely fatal

Most cases are mild and it's rarely fatal, but it's still very serious.

And the reason it's spreading like this is because veterinarians play it down. Rarely fatal does not mean not fatal. And I believe rarely is an understatement.

I didnt post a link with an original title. I posted a concern based on information I have directly through my own, current experience as an industry insider about this current influenza epidemic among dogs in the region.

Please keep your dogs safe and stay out of the dog parks and other social environments.

And I offered to confirm my sources with you privately. That's okay I deleted the post. So much for helping.
