This new dog respiratory illness going around is scaring me.

The only time Benson is putatively around other dogs is when he's at daycare -- he's in Enhanced Care (which means he's kept separate from groups), but he's still in a facility with large numbers of dogs around.

I also keep him away from other dogs on our walks and usually walk where/when there aren't a bunch of other dogs walking the same route.

This illness has been going around since August and so far, Benson has been fine, but I'm *stressed.*

Mysterious Disease Spreading Among Dogs

The yet unnamed disease has infected hundreds of dogs in at least five states and does not respond to antibiotics so far.

@DeliaChristina I asked our local daycare about it and so far the answer is "we've seen it on TikTok but not locally," for which I am very grateful. Still, it's only a matter of time.
