UW Veterinary Care’s Primary Care Service is offering current primary care clients appointments for a special canine influenza clinic on April 30, May 14 and May 28, 2015 from 4:00-6:00 p.m.
Canine influenza virus (CIV) has affected at least 1,000 dogs in Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana in the last month, including one confirmed case in the Madison area.
Appointments will be in 15-minute time slots per household, serving up to four dogs per slot. Veterinary medical technicians will provide the influenza vaccination and no other vaccines or procedures will be offered at this specific clinic. An appointment is required.
To make an appointment, visit our website or call 608-263-7600.
UPDATE (April 22, 2015): Boarding Facility Requirements
Some local boarding facilities now require full CIV coverage (two vaccinations) to board. We recommend clients speak with their boarding facility about specific requirements well in advance if they plan to board within the next few months. A minimum of 30 days are required for full protection — two vaccinations, two to four weeks apart, with protection 7-14 days after the second vaccination.
