MaryJane Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Heard today that the dog flu is in Mass at one facility near the Ipswich area. http://www.boston.com/health/2014/05/14/dog-flu-detected-mass-for-first-time/bkxL06dVENDemkS3kPAdmL/story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Update ... http://boston.cbslocal.com/2014/05/12/mass-officials-report-cluster-of-dog-flu-cases-in-essex-county/ Note, the last story was incorrect in stating that Mass never had the canine flu in this state - it was here in 2005 (could be wrong about year) but, contained at one of the racetracks.

Feisty49 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 This is crazy. I, a person who seldom vacations, am writing this post while on vacation in Rockport, MA, 3 miles from Gloucester. At least I'll have an idea what might be the problem if Annie gets sick. We've walked all over in both Rockport and Gloucester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Agriculture department in MA has dealt with this before and it had resulted in very strict laws (quarantine) of animals coming into this state for adoption. It looks like it is contained so far to the one kennel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
