Sixty-five dogs (incidence rate, 17 events\/1,000\ndog search hours) had combined morbidity during deployment.\nSystem-specific morbidity rates included gastrointestinal\ntract signs (5 events\/1,000 dog search hours),\ncuts and abrasions mostly on the feet (5 events\/1,000\ndog search hours), fatigue (6 events\/1,000 dog search\nhours), change in appetite (6 events\/1,000 dogs search\nhours), dehydration (5 events\/1,000 dog search hours),\nrespiratory tract problems (2 events\/1,000 dog search\nhours), heat exhaustion (2 events\/1,000 dog search\nhours), and orthopedic or back problems (2 events\/1,000\ndog search hours).
