I was at the vet today and she said this flu is related to the avian flu, too.

From what I have read, the dog flu is now in N.Y. Was going to bring my dog to the groomer for a bath and a much needed nail clipping, but I am now hesitant. Do you think I am overreacting?

Yeah, and where is the info on how it is/has spread now? Is there any change in the demographics or migration patterns to the general dog population?
This is not helpful if it means I am to quarantine my doggie for what>>2 months? 10 years? How is it spread?

You just never know, better to be safe than sorry. I know it's more of a hassle to groom at home, my dog is 82 pounds, it's always an adventure!

" Do you think I am overreacting?" I don't know...I have the same/similar questions. I have horses and cows living all around me...and, I found a dead Blue Jay in my yard yesterday.(West Nile Virus?)
We have big problems with EEE down here.

Don't mind bathing my dog, but she has hated that nail clipping since she was a pup....

You have all convinced me, I will keep my dog away from areas where there is a possibility that she could be infected. My dog, Lucy is now 10. Two years ago she had a stroke, though she is doing great now, don't want to risk her getting this flu.
I did read that the percentage of deaths of those infected with the flu is about 8%, I don't want to take any chances.
That nail clipping, she hates it! Guess I will have to try again, have not tried since she was a pup....she hates it!

My Maddie always hated to have her nails clipped also, most dogs do. So now I clip them before she gets out of the car to go on our walk. She just wants to go on her walk and knows that we'll go as soon as her nails get clipped!
Now she has gotten use to it and its simple

I guess we need to keep our dogs away from horses too?
I'm not a horse owner, but my BC has been around them...it takes all I can to keep her from rolling in the manure!

Blam maybe you should call your county or city health department. I am serious (not series). They may have some sort of collection program for dead birds so that they can be tested for the West Nile Virus.
