| Sneezing My 12 week old yorkie had that kennel cough nasal injection and that's when the sneezing started. The Vet put her on antibiotics for a week and has been off them now for awhile. My question is it is over 2 weeks and there still are sneezes every now and then. Did anyone experience this and how long did it take before the dog stopped altogether. At first my Vet said it was a respiratory thing but I told him that others had the same problem after that injection. They now said that it can be because of that and it takes time. Other than that she is a ball of fire, eating well and playing with my others. I guess it bothers me more than it does her. I just hope it will stop soon. Any suggestions or feedback? Thank you.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I don't allow my boys to be given kennel cough - it is not a necessary vaccine and can cause issues. But, if you kennel your dogs, go to the groomers, go to dog parks - then it might be considered. KC can last for months, actually . It can progress to pneumonia - but it doesn't sound close to that w/ what you're describing. It's something you have to wait out, watch for worsening symptoms, and give cough medicine if it progresses and/or interferes w/ sleep.

| Sneezy Darcy Thank you for your reply. I do take my dogs to the groomer and walk with them in a park. My other dogs never had a sneezing response so it is new to me. I don't do the boarding thing. She sleeps well but when she is awake the sneezes come off and on. I'm glad other people are aware of this. You'd think they could do better with a vaccine! My dogs are my family so I do not like to see them anything but perfect. She has adjusted so well to my other 2yorkies and little poodle. They are all so much fun. However, they should all pitch in and get me a rug steamer. Their bathroom habits keep me hopping. We go out often and are rewarded for good behavior but ....... Thanks again, Judy |
