Transit at the George Bush Airport in Texas - Sign 61

If we want to travel from our city, Baton Rouge to farther north states such as California, Oregon or Washington, hence we should have "transit" flight.

Fig 01 - George bush airport

Two places as common transit airports are Dallas and Houston. We love George Bush intercontinental airport in Houston.

George Bush is one of the biggest and busiest airports in the USA. The airport is closer from our city, and we feel convenient compared to Dallas.

In addition to extensive networks within the airports in the USA, there are plenty of direct flight from Houston to many regions.

We may be connected to many countries in the regions of South and North America, Asia, Africa and Europe.

Fig 02 - Airplanes in the Houston's airport.

The Mysteriou Dog Respiratory Illness - Sign 60

 The mystery respiratory disease spreading rapidly with dogs in our state, Louisiana recently. Our friends who visit by dog parks frequently said 3 of 5 dogs got it.

Fig 01 - Mysterious Dog Respiratory Illness

All fast with symptoms in one night. One of our friends' dogs is still at LSU (Louisiana State University) veterinary teaching hospital.

The dog has progressed to pneumonia and lack of oxygen has affected dog's (his) heart. He is a young Great Dane.

This illness does not respond well or respond at all to antibiotics. Started or was found in Colorado two weeks ago.

Took less than 3 days to travel from states of Florida (FL) to Mississippi (MS), then to here, Louisiana.

Fig 02- A dog in the park, just illustration.

Just to remind, please take precautions until there is more information. Make sure your dogs are up to date on vaccines.

Fig 03- Morning in our neighborhood.

Reducing contact with large numbers of unknown dogs. Just like with other respiratory pathogens, the more contacts your dog has, the greater the risk of encountering a dog that’s infectious.

Fig 04 - A dog in the park.

Reducing contact with sick dogs. This can be harder to determine but if a dog looks sick (coughing, runny nose, runny eyes), keep your dog away from it.

Fig 05 - A bridge, just for illustration.

Keep sick dogs at home and seek veterinary care. Avoid communal water bowls shared by multiple dogs.
