Kennel cough is a notorious illness among dogs. They can make your
dogs sound like a honking goose and will at times appear to be gagging
or choking. Keep an eye on foamy discharges as well as your dog’s
behavior. Dogs affected with kennel cough will sometimes be feverish and
lethargic. However, some dogs will also appear to be perfectly fine.
Dogs
infected with kennel cough can easily transmit the disease to other
dogs. Coughing and sneezing by an infected dog will easily spread the
virus so be careful. Even fomites (inanimate objects) can also be agents
for spreading the virus. Kennel cough can also be transmitted in
daycare centers where your dog stays and even at dog parks. These places
are where your dog is at a higher risk of infection.
To know more about your dog’s health and how to guard against kennel cough, contact your veterinarian Bend, OR.
