Kennel cough vaccine is a good way to rid your dog of any kennel cough symptoms. We will explain kennel cough and the treatment for it in this article. Kennel cough is the term for viral and bacterial infections which cause inflammation in a dog's voice box and windpipe. This is a form of bronchitis and the symptoms are similar to a chest cold in humans.
This is highly contagious to other dogs so that is why most kennels require that your dog have been given a kennel cough vaccine before they will allow the boarding of your canine.
Your dog is in need of some kennel cough treatment if you hear a "honking" sound when they are coughing.
Most of the time the kennel cough symptoms is just the coughing, so they will appear healthy even if affected. Your dog's appetite and energy should not change, but a fever is one of the symptoms dog illness, or nasal discharge. If you find your canine has these symptoms then isolate them until you can get them some kennel cough treatment.
Your canine can catch kennel cough from direct contact with another dog, aerosals in the air, and germs on contaminated objects. A shared water bowl is a good place for a dog to attract kennel cough. Typically boarding kennels are enclosed areas with poor air circulation, along with dog clinics and grooming facilities, and these places are where kennel cough gets spread. The kennel cough vaccine to help prevent kennel cough is called bordetella, which is one of the active agents of kennel cough, along with parainfluenza being another.
Normally your dog will begin feeling better from kennel cough after one week, and gradually decrease until it is gone around three weeks. If your dog is a puppy, or an older dog, it can take up to six weeks to recover. If after one week you are still seeing nasal discharge or heavy breathing, take them to your vet because serious cases of kennel cough can lead to pneumonia if not treated.
