Kennel Cough
Kennel cough generally strikes when a dog or cat is recovering from a viral or respiratory illness. Although it is mostly a secondary invader it can also be a primary cause of illness.
Kennel cough can be picked up at kennels when boarding your pet. It can also be picked up at shows or anywhere there is a large gathering of dogs or cats.
Symptoms consist of:
- Fever
- Nasal discharge
- A cough that sounds like he or she may have something caught in their throat.
Although by itself kennel cough is not a serious disease it can lead to pneumonia. Immunity from the disease or from a vaccination lasts only 6-12 months, so it is recommended that you vaccinate your pet before going to shows, or boarding them at kennels. Kennel-Cough can be given twice a day before and after a show or boarding at a kennel. This may help to prevent your animal from coming down with the illness. Although this is not a guarantee it is a better alternative than exposing your animal to the disease.
The cough can last up to 6 weeks but if treated with Kennel-Koff the cough usually stops within 48-72 hours (however, you must continue to treat for 7 days). If the cough persists longer then 72 hours, treat for the full 10 days. If after 5 days the cough is persistent, check for other symptoms such as allergies. Do not treat longer than 10 days without breaking the cycle.
Kennel-KoffTM may help!
”There is nothing out there like it” is the word being said about Kennel-Koff. “The cough is gone within 48 - 72 hours”.
How to treat Kennel Cough
Your Vet can provide your pet with an antibiotic. Your pet may take up to 6 weeks (even with the antibiotic) to recover.
Before purchasing Kennel-Koff, read about the Canine Flu. The symptoms mimic kennel cough with a couple of exceptions.
If you are not sure your dog has Canine Flu or Kennel-Koff purchase Amber Technology’s Kennel-Koff and Pet’s Cough and Cold to cover both situations. The Kennel-Koff is an antibiotic and Pet’s Cough & Cold is a cough suppressant. They work nicely together.
