If it is kennel cough it is HIGHLY contagious and any dog you have recently been in contact with with yours will likely get it.
Kennel Cough is a distinctive cough. It is a dry hack, that isn't usually confused with a sneeze. Your dog will often be less alert and lethargic - they may not neccessarily cough all day long but you will notice that they are not feeling 100%. Usually, following the coughs, there is often foam / bile that comes out , this is from coughing so hard. Dogs will sometimes have a fever, and discharge from the eyes - yellow or green as it is an infection in the body.
It should be difficult for a vet to misdiagnose kennel cough really.
Reverse sneezing generally is a sound coming from the nose. They are compensating breathing through the nose because the throat is blocked (the trachea temporarily flaps shut).
The incubation period for kennel cough is 7-10 days, sometimes more |
