Mystery respiratory illness making dogs sick
These pups have had it ruff. Veterinarians are warning pet owners about an infectious disease that was first detected among dogs a few months ago. Now, cases have spread to at least five states while experts are still trying to figure out the cause, the American Veterinary Medical Association said. Veterinarians describe the illness as a respiratory disease that can cause coughing, sneezing and lethargy. They say it can sometimes lead to pneumonia – and it does not respond to antibiotics. Cases have been reported in several states, including Oregon and Colorado. 🐾 Is your pooch at risk? Here’s what to know.
Hostage deal could be near
Israel’s full cabinet was meeting late Tuesday and expected to vote on a proposal for the release of about 50 hostages amid numerous reports that a deal with Hamas was imminent. A senior Hamas official said Tuesday that an agreement could be reached “in the coming hours” for Hamas to free some hostages in return for Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners − expected to be about 150 women and minors − and pausing war operations for several days. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear later Tuesday this would be only a temporary truce. “We are at war, and we will continue the war,” he said. 👉 Follow our live coverage.

In the days leading up to her death, she urged friends to donate to a campaign that would cancel the medical debt of strangers. By the time she died, that campaign raised enough to pay off nearly $19 million in debt – and has since nearly tripled its impact. ❤️ Read more about her life and campaign.
