gav Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 i had a phone call from a m8 of mine at 11 oclock last nite his 12 yr old retriever was ill and could i carry it into the car as it couldnt stand he is 72 so cant carry the dog himself . well 5 mins later i was there and omg the dog looked half dead. so rushed to the vet 10 mins away . where surprise surprise he has kennel cough very bad it was affecting his lungs . he had a very high temp £ 290 quid later we brought the very ill dog home . the cost of kennel cough vaccine is only £ 22. i had 9 dogs done but only paid for 7 a few weeks ago . kennel cough is bad in my area is it the same every where ? if you havent had your dogs vaccinated against it please consider it coz it takes hold quickly ! and spreads easily .

Cushat Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) There was a lot of it around Berks/Hamps during the later part of the season. Hope your mate's dog makes a full recovery. Edited February 16, 2008 by Cushat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) seems that most dogs have had it but only really affects young old and the sick ! can it affect ferrets as some dog diseases do i think B) Edited February 19, 2008 by gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie 1 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 our shoot had it bad last year with pretty much all the dogs there had it at some point, it was then that we found http://petnutrahealth.com/k9cough.htm?gcli...CFQ4vlAod6ySb0A it might be worth a try to anyone that has it and doesn't have there dogs vaccinated. charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallowbuck Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 A old treatment is to put some Benilyn cough medecine in to some warm water and let them have it twice a day, works a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
