Dr. Lera talks about canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC).

Canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC) is a syndrome of diseases that are of significant concern in any multi-dog setting. The appropriate treatment and containment practices needed to address a CIRDC incident will vary considerably based on the specific agent or agents involved. In many cases identifying the agents involved is not possible; therefore, a prevention strategy is the key to tackling CIRDC in a shelter setting. Sometimes called dog flu, canine flu or kennel cough, CIRDC remains a particular concern for shelters (as well as other facilities where large numbers of dogs are housed in close proximity to one another, such as boarding facilities) because of significant infection rates and ease of transmission.
