What is kennel cough?
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.
How long can a dog go with kennel cough?
It is possible for a dog to go a long time with kennel cough. This disease doesn't usually kill dogs, and eventually it can go away on its own. The problem with kennel cough is that it makes your dog more susceptible to other illnesses, such as pneumonia, which could kill him, so you should contact the veterinarian to get your dog treated. Also, your other dogs and your neighbor's dogs could catch kennel cough from the one that is sick.

If you wish to kill your dog, continue on. Aways go to your Veterinarian first. Have your dog checked over & let the Vet deal out the medications, complete with the correct dosage. Why is your dog coughing? Is it heart related, is it kennel cough, is it pneumonia, internal parasites, etc. So please take your dog to see your Veterinarian if you truly love your dog.

Can you get another dog if your previous dog died from parvo in the backyard?
Yes, but if you have an unvaccinated young puppy, you will risk having it die of parvo too. Parvo - short for parvovirus - is a nasty viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract. In young puppies, it can cause death within a few days from dehydration and toxic shock. The vaccine against it is very effective and is recommended for all dogs, with a three-shot inital series and a yearly booster thereafter. A puppy is not considered completely vaccinated until two weeks after the third shot in the original series. The virus itself is very hardy and can survive in a kennel or house for years. Cleaning with bleach water (then rinse thoroughly) then with soap and water (then rinse thoroughly) then with an all-purpose sanitizer like Lysol or Pine-Sol (then rinse thoroughly) will get the virus load down, but probably not kill all of it.
