Eye, Microchip, and Tattoo Clinic, March 28th, 2010
The St. Hubert Kennel Club will hold an eye clinic on Sunday, March
28th, 2010 at our hospital starting at 9:00 am. This is a well-dog, all
breed clinic intended to clear dogs of hereditary eye disease. It is not intended to address known eye disease that requires more time and different equipment.
Veterinary Ophthalmologist, Dr. Alan Bachrach, from Petersham, MA, will be conducting the examinations this year. The fee is $32.00 per dog. Due
to additional exam requirements a higher examination fee of $37.00 per
dog will be charged for the following breeds: Basenji, Mastiff,
Australian Shepherd, Dalmatian, and Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
Your dog's registration information is mandatory to register your
dog's eye examination with CERF. Please bring registration papers with
you to the examination.
It is mandatory that your dog have a tattoo, microchip, or DNA identification number to be registered with CERF.

New Canine Influenza Virus
In response to the ever changing nature of infectious diseases, we will begin carrying a vaccine against the new canine influenza virus, type A, H3N8. The vaccine has only been recently released by its manufacturer, Intervet Schering-Plough. The vaccine does not completely protect dogs from contracting the virus, however, it can substantially decrease signs of illness and also shortens the time frame for which infected dogs can pass the infection on to others. The vaccine is a two shot series given two weeks apart, and requires annual boosters thereafter. We recommend all dogs that frequent kennels, dog parks, grooming facilities, or dog shows be immunized against the disease. Only dogs can be infected by this virus. Other animals, including humans, are not presently at risk for contracting this strain of influenza.
For more information please visit the newsroom for Intervet Schering-Plough, or the newsroom for USDA-APHIS.
