That question should be asked of the vet, not us at Wiki. Four months old is too young to neuter, anyway. There are studies that indicate early spay/neuter is not a good thing to do for your pet. You should wait until they are a minimum of 6 months old.
Please DO NOT give a puppy human medication. It can harm the puppy.
Never give an animal human medicine unless a veterinarian prescribes it specifically. It can kill it. Ask a vet what to give the puppy.
using a syringe or eye dropper just try and get some water into his mouth, be careful not to go to quickly as the water could enter into his nasal passages and he could choke on it. he needs to be started on a broad spectrum antibiotic for the kennel cough, you can get that from your vet.
no
Usually if the animal is removed from the kennel, the cough goes away. If the animal has been removed and is still showing symptoms within two weeks of leaving the kennel odds are it is more severe than kennel cough. Have a vet see the animal if this is the case to make sure.(Though it has no correlation to being kept in a kennel but is just called this because a kennel is a common place to get the virus because of the large exposure to various dogs. Any exposure to other dogs can run the risk of your dog getting kennel cough.)However, there are rare cases with puppies, often small breed puppies specifically, where the kennel cough can last until about 6 months of age. If all tests are done and and all other potential causes ruled out the symptoms are usually treated and the cough tends to just disappear around 6 months of age. This is not common as kennel cough usually clears up in several weeks but happens often enough for breeders and vets to nickname it puppy cough.
yes it can. I have a puppy and he got Kennel Cough. Before he got treated we had to keep him away from other dogs for a while so we wouldn't get other dogs sick by ours. He got treated but another dog didn't so he got it again.
Your puppy could possibly have bad kennel cough or gagging. Check out the link in the "Sources and related links" section below for more information.
I am looking for an answer from other people please I am in the process of buying a puppy from the kennel.
1) Take the puppy with you 2) Kennel the puppy 3) Ask family to watch the puppy
I work as a Vet Tech in WA state. You should wait 2 weeks after your puppies last set of vaccines to put your puppy in a kennel, they can get kennel cough, distemper, parvo and other awful diseases if not fully vaccinated, so be careful!!!
Yes, we received a very sick puppy as well... she had coccidia as well as an extreme strand of bordetella which led to pneumonia. Breeder was adamant that our dog did not have kennel cough but we received info from our local vet that puppies out of her kennel have a history of being bred with these conditions... not happy after thousands of dollars in vet bills, but finally our dog is healthy. Would not recommend her as a breeder.
it isn't just females. she's a puppy and she doesn't have "manners" yet. she'll grow out of it
