Kennel cough is contagious, the dogs should be kept separate until cured
Yes but hard.
You need to take your dog in to a Veterinarian to be examined. Kennel cough is a virus which antibiotics are ineffective against. A Vet will usually give you antibiotics only to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Do not try to treat this at home, take your pet to a Veterinarian for the correct treatment.
Kennel cough is the lay term for an upper respiratory infection caused by Bordetella bacteria. The infection causes a characteristic dry cough in dogs, and is often seen in dogs after they return home from a stay in the kennel - hence the name "kennel cough". Treatment consists of antibiotics for a couple of weeks to kill the bacteria. An effective vaccine is now available and is typically required by kennels before your dog can be boarded there.
it usually mean that your dog has kennel cough. In some dogs it can lead to pneumonia or more serious signs. Cough suppressants can be used to control the cough and antibiotics may be necessary for stubborn infections or to try to stop the spread of the bacteria in multiple dog households.
NO & if it were kennel cough the vet would tell the owner. Kennel cough is highly contagious to other dogs (not humans) & vet would recommend in home quarantine until all antibiotics were finished & dog is rechecked. It sounds like a typical upper respiratory infection that is not passed to humans
Amoxicillin does not help with kennel cough. Go see your veterinarian.
it depends what jab your getting for your dog. If you get the kennel cough jab then that treat kennel cough (obviously) etcetera etcetera. but if you get the annual dog jab then it treats most common diseases.
Yes, my dog had his shot just before he went in the kennels, when he came back he was coughing like mad! The same has happened to my cousins dog.
If your dog shows symptoms of kennel cough the first thing you need to do is isolate him from other pets you may have or be in contact with. Go to the vet A.S.A.P. The'll take it from here.
Annually.
Do you mean bordetella vaccine? If you do it is to help prevent your dog from getting 'kennel cough' ( Bordetella bronchiseptica ) which is a flu like virus that's passed from dog to dog, espicially in grooming or boarding facilities. Symptoms are usually a dry hacking cough that wont go away. Treatment is usually antibiotics.
ALWAYS. It's scientific name is tracheobronchitis. It is similar to bronchitis in human beings in that it involves either a viral or bacterial infection with expectorating cough, can progress to pneumonia, is quickly and easily contagious, and is treated with antibiotics. In that, there is good news, for while kennel cough is easily caught, it is also fairly easy to ameliorate. Get thee dog to a veterinarian.
My opinion is Kennel Cough
