Kennel cough is really bad this year. My new little guy caught it on the plane. He started coughing about 2 weeks after we got him. The vet said they could get it just walking through the veterinary office. One lady told another breeder that she was just walking her dog and at an intersection another dog in a car coughed out the window and hers got it.
My vet put mine puppies on antibiotics, but for most dogs you don't even need to treat it, unless they have other health issues. It will just run it's course like the common cold. There is no treatment, the antibiotics are to prevent pneumonia. |
