Hello everyone ! I am Dr E !

And my thing is to share with you what I know on management of kennels and catteries !

You see recently I was reading people posting about

canine herpesvirus, this one right here.

And they were freaking out.

I find it kind of interesting you know because for me, canine herpesvirus is not such a big thing.

When you think about it, many many many dogs are positive.

So it's a reality.

And I am going to give you in this episode my key tip on how to better prevent the consequences

of a canine herpes virus infection in puppies.

Canine herpes virus is what we call a virus of the cold mucosas.

It replicates when temperature drops below 34 ℃ and that is why it is such a big problem

in puppies.

Puppies are colder than adults.

And puppies are prone to be hypothermic.

So the best way to prevent canine herpesvirus is to prevent hypothermia.

If you can maintain the temperature of the puppies above 34 during the first 3 weeks

after they are born you will be good.

After 3 weeks they can regulate their body temperature by themselves.

And that is the key thing.

If you want more information on this virus, I'll post a link in the comment section below on one

of the webinars we did on this very topic.

Have a great day, and I'll see you guys very soon !
