    triple E and dogs

    Can dogs get triple e? There have been some cases in my state and I was curious...

    Hmm... what does triple E stand for?
    • Gold Top Dog
    It stands for Eastern Equine Encephalitis.... I'm not sure if dogs can get it, but I *think* they can, it is transmitted by mosquitoes.

    Eastern Equine Encephalitis...and yes it is transmitted by a mosquito. 3 confirmed cases in MA...and 2 of them not doing well (52 yr old woman and a 9 yr old boy).
     
    I want to protect myself, my family, and my dogs (if that's the case).
