Title: Re: Kennel Cough Symptoms. Post by: R.ScHmIdT on January 20, 2014, 12:20:13 pm I thought a pup of mine had kennel cough. Took it to the vet and it ended up having pnemonia. Antibiotic and a steriod he was good to go in a few weeks . He was hacking, weezing had a rasp in his breathing sound like he had flim in his throat tall the time. Cost about $100 for the meds i think.
Hope it helps Title: Re: Kennel Cough Symptoms. Post by: MrsLouisianaHogDog on January 20, 2014, 12:23:01 pm What symptoms are you seeing?
If there's coughing, it can very well be kennel cough (most common), but coughing can also be a symptom of cardiac issues such as heartworms or cardiomyopathy, etc. For kennel cough, standard protocol usually is 14 days worth of antibiotics, usually Keflex/Cephalexin or Clavamox. Clavamox is my personal preference for this. If kennel cough is untreated, it can lead to pneumonia. |
