Canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC)—commonly referred to as kennel cough—continues to present diagnostic and preventive challenges in clinics of all sizes. In this informative and timely one-hour webinar, Dr. Chris George (Practice Limited to Internal Medicine) will walk attendees through real-world case studies, offering practical guidance for identifying, managing, and preventing CIRDC in a variety of clinical settings.

From understanding host and social risk factors to reviewing current diagnostic limitations and treatment options, attendees will come away with a clearer picture of how to handle this all-too-common but often misunderstood disease. The session will also include an overview of updated vaccination recommendations, as well as strategies to reduce confusion and improve protection using core and non-core vaccine guidance.

What You’ll Learn:
• The most common pathogens involved in CIRDC and how to recognize typical clinical symptoms
• Diagnostic limitations and best practices for antimicrobial use and supportive care
• Key social and host risk factors contributing to CIRDC outbreaks
• How to standardize vaccine guidance across your team (and why non-core vaccine discrepancies matter)
• Ways to improve communication with clients about respiratory disease risks and prevention
