what is kennel cough? My friend has a poodle whom she bought from a petstore. :( she had him for about 5-6 years now. But for the past 3 years I've noticed that he had a NASTY cough. At 1st I thought maybe he caught a cold or some type of flu....but when weeks started turning into months & months into years it was clear it is something else. He would stretch out his neck & make a heeving sound almost as if he's having an asthma attack. Sometimes he would bring something up in his mouth & swallow it back down. But most times she has to rub his throat in order for him to stop........so is this kennel cough or something else? If it is kennel cough how do dogs get it?? |
Here is a thread with information about kennel cough, reverse sneeze and collapsed trachea. It sounds like your friend's poodle might have reverse sneeze. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...d-trachea.html |
Thank you! & yea you was right....it is reverse sneezing. |
If it is reverse sneezing, when he starts it, place your fingertips over his nostrils and it should stop almost instantly. |
Kinda like covering it? |
Yes, you can cover the nose.....but, she is already stopping it by rubbing the throat. That is another way. |
Ohkay. |
My little baby had Kennel Cough and you would definitely know if it was kennel cough. She got a fever and was listless. Sounds like reverse sneezing to me too. Hope this helps :) |
