I have been asked to help out on the Western Canadian Animal Health Network and am gathering info from veterinary teams on their experience with:

1) preg check this year -reports I’ve heard have been brutal with high open rates anywhere from 15-50%!

2) Any manheimia pneumonia in cows or replacement heifers?

3) long shot for MB perhaps relative to AB and SK but any reports on congestive heart failure? Reports in AB of more cases in non-typical animals.

4) Any new and/or notable trends to report for MB?

I’d very much appreciate you sharing with your networks. If folks could give me their update in any format that works they can reach me by:

Phone or text: 1-204-264-0294

Email: matchison@mbbeef.ca

Reports will remain anonymous but I can identify the region of MB if the person reporting thinks it’s important information.

I appreciate your help!

The Manitoba Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) is aware of reports of a canine respiratory illness outbreak in several US states starting in August 2023. While there is limited information available on the number of cases and the cause of these illnesses, symptoms include coughing, sneezing, nasal and eye discharge, and lethargy.

It is important to note that non-specific respiratory illnesses in dogs are common, can occur in clusters, and can have various underlying contagious and non-contagious causes. Veterinarians are well-positioned to provide advice to animal owners and diagnose and treat dogs with respiratory illnesses.

The MVMA is not aware of any canine respiratory outbreaks in Manitoba and will continue to monitor the situation and share confirmed information as it becomes available.

What can pet owners do?

• Do not panic
• Limit your dog’s contacts, especially transient contacts with dogs of unknown health status
• Keep your dog away from sick dogs
• Talk to your veterinarian about vaccination against canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV) and Bordetella bronchiseptica
• If your dog is ill and you are concerned, contact your veterinarian

We’re delighted to share that our own MVMA President, Dr. Mackenzie Marks, attended the annual WCVM White Coat Ceremony in Saskatoon on Monday, September 25, 2023. In addition to the students receiving their personalized white lab coats, Dr. Marks presented stethoscopes to the first-year students from Manitoba.

We proudly congratulate the future veterinarians and warmly welcome the Class of 2027 to our profession!

A special thank you to Dr. Chris Bell for providing pictures of the ceremonious event.
