A mysterious respiratory illness is spreading among dogs and baffling veterinarians. Here’s what owners can do

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 23:36:39 GMT

By Chris Boyette and Holly Yan | CNN From New Hampshire to Oregon, researchers are trying to figure out what’s causing an infectious respiratory disease among dogs that has turned deadly in rare cases.The mysterious illness is described as an “atypical canine infectious respiratory disease,” the Oregon Department of Agriculture said in a November 9 news release. Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, eye or nose discharge and lethargy.Veterinarians in Oregon have reported more than 200 cases of the disease since mid-August. Other cases have been reported in Colorado, Illinois and New Hampshire.“Based on the epidemiology of the cases reported at this point, the cases appear to share a viral etiology, but common respiratory diagnostic testing has been largely negative,” Oregon State Veterinarian Dr. Ryan Scholz told the American Veterinary Medical Association.In other words, dogs with the unidentified illness show similar signs of an upper respiratory disease but generally don’t test po...

The rankings are based on individual performance, value to the team and quality of competition.Had the Heisman Trophy winner been announced at the end of September, Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. might very well have walked away with the award.At the end of October, he would have been a lock.But like conference championships, the trophy is won in the stretch run.As of today, Penix is not the betting favorite — or even a close second. He’s running third, behind LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and Oregon quarterback Bo Nix.The latest odds from BetMGM show Nix as the favorite at 11-to-10, followed by Daniels at 7-to-5.As for Penix, well, he’s running third at 5-to-1.The situation is extremely fluid.

Taste-Off: The best cream cheese in local markets — and the bad ones

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 23:36:39 GMT

It’s hard to think of a more versatile dairy ingredient than cream cheese. It’s mandatory for a proper bagel, and it’s an essential ingredient in all things party food: cheesecake, dips, cakes, casseroles.This fresh, i.e., non-aged, cheese made from cow’s milk and cream is buttery rich, with a mild, sour cream-like kick that’s delicious every which way — straight-up, mixed with herbs or stirred into eggs, pasta or soup. But what makes cream cheese such a go-to for home cooks is its thick consistency; it provides body and creaminess to everything from carrot cake frosting to spinach dip.Interestingly, as rich as cream cheese seems, it’s actually a nutritional step up from butter with half the calories and higher protein levels. Like butter, the high fat content means cream cheese can last for weeks in the fridge — and even longer in the freezer. Just note that the smallest introduction of bacteria can turn it into a package of mold.Great cream cheese is soft and creamy, with a delica...

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 23:36:39 GMT

There’s a newcomer in Oakland’s tony Rockridge strip, and it’s nothing like the old one: Saffron Kitchen Restaurant & Bar, an upscale joint serving Afghan food blended with the flavors of the Mediterranean and Silk Road.Saffron Kitchen takes the place of the Golden Squirrel pub, which sold its business this year. Golden Squirrel was a gastropub popular for its bar bites, trivia nights, stand-up comedy and NBA watching parties. It also held other, more unexpected events, like the author talk last spring with journalist Luke Russert, son of legendary newsman Tim Russert, to discuss his new memoir about grief.“I purchased Golden Squirrel and ran it for almost two months and realized the concept was a dying breed and needed to be changed,” says Akbar M. Arghandiwal, managing partner of Saffron Kitchen. “So we closed the place and worked on a complete facelift. We opened it only a few days ago quietly as a soft opening. The reception from our neigh...
