Lecture overview: 

Canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD) has overlapping clinical signs with a variety of cardiac and respiratory disorders. This session will provide an overview of the clinical approach to diagnosis and management of CIRD, with an emphasis on preventive vaccination. Mucosal immunity will be reviewed, and scientific data comparing mucosal and subcutaneous vaccination of Bordetella bronchiseptica will be compared. The session will briefly touch on the use of telemedicine to manage CIRD outbreaks and chronic complications of acute CIRD.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss the clinical approach to dogs presenting with acute respiratory signs.
2. Review the pathogens implicated in canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD) and associated preventive practices, including vaccination.
3. Provide an overview of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for dogs with CIRD.
