Good ol Kennel cough......LOL.
I had to treat my puppies because I brought in a dog and they gave my adults Kennel cough!!!!! Only some got symptoms. She was just the carrier, she didnt have symptoms at all but it had to be her.
But My vet only treated the pups due to the fact kennel cough can be viral or bacterial, viral can not be treated with anitbiotics but bacterial can. It was only a safe guard for the pups. He didnt treat the adults because he feels it is prolly the viral kind and it will just run its course.
Kennel cough like said before is basically an irritating cold like humans get and really isnt dangerous unless a secondary infection starts. Just like a cold it needs to run its course.
My vet put my puppies on Liquid cefa drops (cefadroxil) twice a day to protect them bacteria that could lead to pnuemonia.....just a safeguard. |
