Buck has kennel cough

[.sarah]

Poor baby Could you spare some thoughts for him? Also, if anyone has been through it, did you find anything helped? We've got him seperated from the girls and have a humidifier with him. Any other ideas?

He caught it at the dog park or the camp grounds last week ...

Poor, Buck! Molly had kennel cough when we adopted her. For every day she had medication, we gave her 2x the amount in yogurt and other probiotics.

She recovered quickly and very nicely.

Good thoughts for Buck on the way.

When Jasper had kennel cough I gave him a vitamin C tablet every morning (I called my vet to confirm it was OK, I'd recommend doing the same if you decide to give Vit C) and a small dish of echinacea tea.

I gave tea in the evening one day, but that was a mistake that ended with a big puddle on the carpet at 3am!

My vet also said that sometimes giving the bordatella vaccine after a dog already has it can speed recovery time.

Good wishes for Buck on a speedy recovery.

Dogs at a dog show are required to carry their vaccine records, subject to review at the vet at the shows discreation.. - but kennel cough is not given as often but still- the healthy dogs are at dog shows. It was probably the dog park.

Well, like I said, I haven't sen any symptoms from my four, so hopefully they don't get it/have it!

There weren't just "healthy dog show dogs" at the dog show - there were pet dogs as well.

The bulk of the shows outside dogs are not allowed- .. It goes with liability of the club..

Awwwuh, Buck! =( Get better soon buddy.

Being that Buck is not a young puppy, and he's so healthy & not a flat-faced breed, I'm sure he will get over it as quickly and easily as a kid gets over a cold. Especially since his Mom is doing all the right stuff for him :]. Dog shows are definitely easy places for it to travel, especially with people bringing puppies, and in close quarters if it was an indoor show.

Thanks everyone. I just called places all over town and nobody has this chinese herbal medicine that was reccomended to me We did order a homeopathic remedy and payed $28 in shipping so that it would come overnight.

He's sooo not happy being locked up in the X-pen. He just cries when the dogs are playing and when we come to talk to him. Ughhh

Can you give him a little turkey? You know, get him a little sleepy and he won't feel so left out, too tired to care?

Best wishes, Buck!
