How Kennel Cough Affects Your Dog's Health

A simple coughing for dogs must need an attention. You might think that it is just a cough, a normal cough, but later you will know it will harm the health of your dog to the extent that it will not be treatable. It happened to my friend's dog. He asked me if it's just normal for dogs to cough and I told him to bring the pooch to the Vet right away. Luckily, the dog was treated.

Just like humans, dog's health is sensitive too. They also need supplements such as vitamins to protect them plus the very powerful tender love and care. Most dogs are prone to infections, it could be infections on Tooth and Mouth, infection on their tonsillitis also known as Infectious tonsillitis or Infectious Tracheobronchitis better known as Kennel Cough . Among these infections, Kennel Cough is the most common one.

What is Kennel Cough and how it affects your Dog's health?

Basically it is cause by the bacteria known as Bordatella Bronchiseptica. It is highly contagious illness which is characterized by inflammation of the upper respiratory system. It is contagious in the sense that it passes directly from dog to dog at kennels or places such as dog grooming parlors, pet stores, dog shows, parks and other humane societies. The most common sign of this disease is having soft dry coughs and sneezing are the two most common signs of this disease. Coughs occur due to the allergic or cancerous conditions. Symptoms can include a harsh, dry coughing, retching and sneezing.

To prevent your dogs from this disease, antibiotics are the most common medicine given. This is to treat the bacterial infection that is present. Others use humidifiers which help clear the mucous from the throat. This allows the dog to breath easier.  Cough suppressants can also be used only if the cough is not productive.

It is good if you try to isolate your dogs to avoid infection of others, keep all the cages disinfected, give them proper rest, monitor their temperatures and if the coughing is severe, over-the-counter cough syrup can be use. If your dogs have been exposed to other pets, it is better for them to have their kennel cough vaccination for every six to twelve months to avoid it from coming back.

It is always good for your dogs to be healthy. Protecting your dog's health is something that they will thank you for. Giving them the attention, providing them foods and shelter are one of the best things we could ever give to them. Surely they deserve those treatments!

Courtyard Kennel $168.9 PLEASE NOTE: This item ships directly from the factory. Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery. This Courtyard Kennel is a good looking pen. It's stable and heavier than most exercise pens so it won't move if most puppies or small dogs jump up on the sides. It can't contain a very clever climber or a jumper with time to figure out how to get out, so Jack Russell lovers beware. Bigger dogs who are trained to stay inside a pen will like they way they look in this pretty pen. Six panel configuration: each is 36 inches wide, 38 inches tall. The gate panel is really nice, open the door with one hand. Easy for you to open the door and step inside with a sleeping puppy or let the bigger dog walk in and out. Use it indoors or outdoors. The panels are durable, rust-resistant, galvanized steel and have a nice decorative silver crackle finish. This pen's construction stands up very well to the elements when used outdoors. The pen has two sets of removable corner pins. A set of long pins stake the kennel into soft ground. The short pins are for indoor or hard surfaces. The kennel design is quick and easy to put together, no tools required. If you need a larger pen, put two Courtyard Kennels together. The individual panels are easily added or removed to change the size and shape of the unit. The Courtyard Kennel can be used as a portable 18-foot barrier fence, you'll need some way to attach it at both ends if you don't want the dogs pushing around the ends of it. We use it as a free standing fence on our 10 foot wide deck. Stores flat. Pretty is as pretty does. This pen is solid. Brand: Precision Pet Made in China
