Infectious Diseases and Parasites
IWs are just as susceptible to infectious and tick-borne diseases as any dog, but canine influenza can be especially dangerous because of the risk of related pneumonia. If your dog is coughing or has nasal discharge, not only should he see a vet, but you should not take him anywhere where he will be in contact with other dogs, as canine influenza is highly contagious.
