doris...kennel cough :(

we took poor doris to vets today, while we was waiting in the waiting room we noticed doris had discharge coming out her nose. Doris has slight kennel cough, slightly swolen glands, and high temperature. Been put on antibiotics for a week. Vet said our other dogs should be fine but may get a cough but nothing to worry about.

Awww >< for Doris.. Hope she has a speedy recovery

aw thankyou kylie . poor doris is only 11 weeks old

I know poor baby, she will be fine though and back to her normal self before you know it

You should keep her away from your other dogs though it is contagious and you don't want them sick too..

have a read of this

Aaawww, poor Doris, hope she gets better soon

Hope she gets better soon

Our new rescue dog has kennel cough and is on antibiotics. Fortunately Miley has had the KC vaccination. They did say at the rescue centre that benylin cough mixture can help. Dont know about a puppy though

Childrens benylin for chest coughs and some good honey are great for kc.

great info thankyou

i never knew benylin could be given to dogs. how much would i give to doris and how often. i cant seperate doris from the others as we have not got the room to keep them seperate

Ahhh poor little Doris, do you have any idea of where she picked it up from ?? >< ><

she has not been anywhere only vets for boosters. but vet said even taking my other dogs for walks they can pick the germs up and pass it on to doris.

change of environment can bring it on too.

well hopefully she will be better soon poor girl. upsets me when my pets are ill
