My 16 month old male Siberian Husky has had what our vet is saying is pneumonia for a week and a half now. His symptoms before we brought him in were extreme fatigue, coughing and hacking up mucus multiple times an hour, runny nose then very stuffed nose, difficulty breathing and a slight fever (103).
We had an xray done and they saw cloudy-ness all throughout his lungs, which led them to believe it was a bacterial pneumonia and not aspiration pneumonia.
few weeks ago, they called and notified a neighbor that had reservations to board her dog that they had an outbreak of kennel cough. Facility was completely shut down and sanitized and reopened. I have to give them credit for notifying their clients!
If the cough continues, best to consult the Vet. Hopefully, it won't get too bad but has to run it's course. Please make sure you keep your dog home so as not to spread it.
t think a tumor but maybe an abcess or could be something that she injested that her body has tried to wall off and has caused an infection. Thoughts? How long does kennel cough take to heal, from what I read it can be months for a full recovery. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated I need advice on what to do- should I take her to another vet? It's killing me on how I can tell she doens't feel well and I just want her to get better!
Yes, all toys, bones,and things she chew on should be tossed out. Kennels, crates,and bowls should be disinfected and all her bedding should be washed. Especially if you have other dogs and also for her protection. Hope it clears up soon and she back to good health.
I have kept him away from other dogs to avoid getting them sick. The vet diagnosed him with kennel cough and put him on Doxycycline 100 mg - he takes 1 1/2 pills twice a day. He started them on Tuesday.He has also had a Bordetella vaccine. His cough seems to be getting worse instead of better. We cut our walk quite short this morning because he was really coughing and coughing up a lot of phlegm (gray and pale yellow).
At the shelter they told me to watch for kennel cough. She is sneezing and coughing. Today I noticed a runny eye, and she seems unactive (especially for a kitten). I can not take her to the vet or back to the spca. I adopted her at a shelter that is 4 hours away. I went to the feed store to get amoxicilyn, but the said u can not get it in ca.
thats what i thought my bulldog had. i carried him to the vet and come to find out it wasnt Kennel Cough it was heartworms causing the cough. i was getting his heartworm meds from petmeds(dont EVERbuy from them) they will not pay for the dogs treatments if its not from the vet. heartworm treatment is very expensive. if you love your dog get him to the vet asap. im not saying it is heartworms, im no doc, but the sooner treated the more chance it will have to be ok.
Yea, sounds like kennel cough. Just make sure the new dog gets his shots, including the one for kennel cough. The dog with the bad cough most likely needs antibiotics and possibly a shot depending on the severity of the cough. A trip to the vet will do the trick. Sometimes, even after the shot and meds, the dog will continue to cough for about a month. My puppy seemed to get worse before he got better. It'll all work out.
Good luck!
I have spoken with my vet about kennel cough, but the cough does not sound like the dry, hacking cough of kennel cough. It is a very congested sounding cough. Also, we have had her on multiple doses of antibiotics, some of which were some very high-powered ones in combination with a low-dose steriod, which carry some very serious side effects for such a tiny puppy.
Occasionally the kennel cough vaccine can cause a transient minor kennel cough in the recipient, Just as the flu vaccine can cause flu like symptoms in humans after vaccination. Or she could have additional problems as I mentioned previously.
No vaccine is 100% effective, and if the coughing is that severe she should be on medicine to surpress her cough, because the cough itself can cause irritation, and pain.
Be sure your dog has been vaccinated for kennel Cough as this is quite common and a hacking cough is the cardinal sign in an otherwise, apparently healthy dog.
An Herbal Canine Cough remedy you might consider that is helpful to relieve coughing associated with Canine Kennel Cough is Slippery elm and the dose is 5ml which is the equivalent of one teaspoon by mouth, as needed.
About three days ago back to the vet and gave them 1cc of Baytril a white shot Another bill for $318.00 and still have a cough. They are very playfull they have a full appetitte and overall very healthy. Why won't this cough go away. By the way very little to no mucucs. Just won't stop coughing. HELP PLEASE OH I ALSO GIVE ROBUTUSSIN DM 2.5CC 3 X DAILY. could there be something wrong with them. Vet hasn't helped me.
His cough sounds dry like a honking goose. Took to vet he said could be kennel cough and put him on doxycycline but also said he heard a heart like murmur. The vet did say that the heart could have sounded like that cause of the dog not feeling well if it was kennel cough and/or being anxious. How did I have a vibrant healthy eating dog one day and a sick one the next. His appetite seems still to be ok. He just wants to eat anything else except his dry food at this time.
Sounds like kennel cough. That will not kill your puppy, but you need to get her to a vet for antibiotics. It'll take your puppy 1-4 weeks to get over the hacking cough, depending on how long she's had the cough and how badly it's supressed her immune system.
As for losing teeth, that's normal. Her baby teeth are falling out and adult teeth will grow in, just like children's teeth do.
Days later, Zoe started in as well and I brought her to my normal vet and they said it was Kennel Cough and also gave her Clavomox. Almost a week later, they were no better.
*Note- Zoe had bronchitis in July and was on a tough regimen of medicine and she got better. She also had rare moments where her trachea would constrict, causing a weird cough. The vet assured me that small dogs just sometimes do this.
Back to the question- I brought them both to a different Vet.
I have 2 boxers. Jersey and Stephie. Jersey starting having diarrhea real bad then he started coughing so hard he was dry heaving and nothing was coming out. So we went to the vet. He said he wasn't sure what was wrong n put him on some antibiotics n something for his stomach. That night the coughing got worse and kept us up all night. Took him back the next day n the vet said he had tracheitis and it wasn't an infection it was mechanical? Gave him a shot and another medicine.
When this happens he starts coughing and water sprays out of his nose . He’s got sick with kennel cough recently and I was worried about him coughing so I took him to the hospital bc I was afraid of heart disease or trachea collapse . Well he was fine , and the kennel cough went away after 5 days but then he kept drinking and dipping his nose underwater (this tends to happen when the bowl is full) and one time he got so much water up his nose it kept coming out of it .
then maybe hes chewed something and its caught, kennel cough air bourne...if hes been around other dogs or in public...it would seems something is not right and that you probably already know...
Tip: If my dog has a hair or something aggitating him, I give a little bread w/butter, the butter picks up the hair and the bread take is down the stomach...
Good luck, keep the forum posted of your outcome...
We keep going to the vet trying tests after tests and prescribed medication and they cant find anything nor does anything help. Its not kennel cough cause she took pills for that. We still havent tried chest xrays or checking for heart disease but its too expenisve and dont really have the money for it right now.. so I just want to know if any of your pets had something like this and you found out what it was? Thanks the help!
I agree with Karla, it sounds like Kennel Cough to me. Kennel cough often resolves itself as long as it's not a real serious case of it. There has been good results treating this disease with azithromycin.
Sanchez is certainly an adorable little boy! I hope he is back to normal again soon! Please keep us updated.
Actually we are currently out of town however I did contact our Vet and she also said it could be kennel cough, which is odd since our dog is an indoor dog and is never around other dogs. She also said it could be a nasty cold... since we cannot make it in right now she recommended I get some Benadryl and give her 1/2 teaspoon 3 times a day. Ever since we begun to give her the medicine she seems to have gotten much better.
