Not the case with Delta. It is also on their website under Health Requirements...I just got off the phone with them and they require no health certificate within the US UNLESS you are shipping cargo. They do require a health certificate for International and the 10 days only apply to the start date of your travel. I flew with Lucy to Mexico and was gone for 2 weeks and the health certificate was good for the entire trip.
From Delta's website:
A health certificate is required when shipping your pet as air cargo. While Delta does not require a health certificate for carried-on or checked pets, upon arrival, the certificate may be required by the state. For clarification, please call your veterinarian or see the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Veterinary Services.
