My 2 year old boxer will be attending obedience classes with 20 other dogs and I wondered if this would be a good idea. He is up to date with all other shots,worming,flea treatments etc, I am just concerned about Kennel cough, or would you suggest anything else?

My dog is current on all her shots except a kennel cough shot. My dad died a few hours ago and I have to fly out of state to be with my brother and I can’t take her. If I take her tomorrow to get the shot will they let me board her tomorrow or will I have to wait?

I recently adopted a 2 month old kitten, Juliet from the local humane society. I was supposed to pick her up 24hours after the adoption was finalized, but then they called and said that she was sick with the kennel cough. How long will it take for her to get over her cough? Will it still be contagious to my two dogs(5), my cat(17) and my rabbit(2) at home?

He’s 3 months old, he only coughs when he’s playing tug-of-war or occasionally when he’s running. But not really. If it isn’t kennel cough what’s the reason and if I can, how can I treat it?

Only vets or people who know a lot about dogs answer please. I fostered a dog who I learned had kennel cough she passed it to my 16 yr old dog and I want to know if he can pass it to other dogs while I have him on Doxycyline?

my dog (her name is tegan) is five months old and vaccinated fully according to her age. i recently rescued another dog (his name is gravy) from an animal shelter who brought kennel cough home with him. i am planning on going to this event called dogtoberfest on saturday the 21st at our awesome dog park. i really, really want to take (tegan) with me but i don’t want to be a jerk and infect any other dogs if she is still contagious. she will start her antibiotics tonight so she will have had a total of six doses before the event. thanks a lot for your help!

Can cats contract kennel cough from dogs?




Hi everyone.
I just adopted a new cat from the humane society about two weeks ago. About a week after I got him, my dog started coughing and sneezing really bad..I took him to the vet and found out he has a minor case of kennel cough. Now just today my OTHER cat that I’ve had for 6 years is coughing and sneezing just like my dog. Is this a coincidence or is it possible my cat caught kennel cough from my dog?

Thanks!

My dog had the Bordetella Vaccine but was exposed to a dog that has kennel cough the next day. I’ve searched online and everything I’ve read says that to just let the disease run it’s course and the dog will be over it in 2 weeks. The vet assistant said that kennel cough doesn’t go away by itself. She said they would have to put my dog on two different antibiotics, one for inflammation and I can’t remember the other. I heard antibiotics are bad for the dogs immune system though. I tried to find a suppressant for kennel cough locally but didn’t have any luck.

I have a five month old puppy that despite being vaccinated showed some signs of kennel cough. When I took him to the vet he was prescribed sulfadi/ormetop, but he has been on it a week and his cough has gotten worse. I couldn’t find anything on what type of medicine it was so I thought I’d ask.

Is there a good home treatment for Kennel Cough?




This dog we are watching has kennel cough and the owner is not around. We really can’t afford more bills by taking the dog to the vet. Is there any good home treatments for this? Thanks

What are the chances she gets kennel cough?




I went to the dog park today, and they had signs posted that a dog recently came down with kennel cough. I thought that all of my dogs had their bordatella vaccinations, so I let them play for a couple of hours. I was concerned, though, so I double checked my vet records. One of my dogs has not received the vaccination.

What can I do to prevent her from contracting this sickness? Is it to late to get the vaccine? Do I need to worry?

Thanks!

Can a dog loose her appetite from Kennel Cough?




My Staffy/Pom mix came down with Kennel Cough yesterday, the vet gave her some medicine and expects her to be better withing 3 days. It’s a very minor case because she was vaccinated against it and she seems fine apart from the coughing.
She’s never been a passionate eater but she still eats a fair bit, today however although she was very active ate very little. Is this just part of her Kennel Cough or should I be worried?
