Kennel cough in dogs. What it is and how to avoid it.
GI and
Immune support supplements are essential
even when giving the best food for puppy.
Kennel Cough in dogs is fairly common. It is often associated
with boarding (kenneling). The specific
cause is an airborne virus, which is
highly contagious. Any time your dog
is in the vicinity of an infected dog,
the potential exists for infection.
The incubation period is about 8-10
days, meaning your dog will not display
symptoms of illness for about 8-10 days
following exposure. For the most part
it must run its course.
The symptoms include a dry, "non-productive" cough.
The dog sounds as if there is something stuck or caught in
the throat and the coughing is an unsuccessful attempt to
dislodge the object. Sometimes the coughing/gagging seems
very violent. The episodes of coughing may go on for minutes
at a time and then be repeated at intervals. Of course you
will want to check your dog and make certain that there isn't
anything actually stuck in the throat! One way you can "test"
for Kennel Cough is to press the throat gently, right in the
collar area. If your dog has Kennel Cough, this will probably
trigger some coughing.
The contributing cause to kennel cough and most illness is
a weakened immune system. Fortifying your dogs' immune system
is best way to prevent them from getting sick in the first
place.
