Canine Disease Halts Fla. Dog Racing

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Three of the Florida's 16 dog
tracks have suspended racing because of a severe outbreak
of a disease known as kennel cough, officials said. Some
other tracks have imposed quarantines.

The Derby Lane track in St. Petersburg, where racing was
suspended on March 24, said at least half of the 1,400
greyhounds kenneled there had symptoms.

Dogs were being treated with antibiotics. The disease is
not ordinarily fatal and usually runs its course in about
three days.

Many dogs spend the six-month racing season at the track
kennels and the infection thrives when dogs are confined in
close quarters.

Races were expected to resume within a week at most of the
affected tracks.
