The vet just told us that there is a RESISTANT STRAIN OF KENNEL COUGH going around. Apparently, it is viral, so your dog's Bordetella shot won't protect him (bordetella is a bacteria, not a virus.) Yes, Kennel Cough!

My dogs have had it. Puppies often get it and not to scare you but it can kill them. Even in adult dogs. When you phone your vet, make sure you tell them you think the dog has kennal cough, cause this is highly contagious to other dogs. They will put you and your dog in a separate room so the other dogs can't get it. Your dog will be given some pills, and they will help your dog feel better and the cough will go away within a few days. It’s kennal cough. My dogs have had it. Puppies often get

Kennel Cough is more of a dry hacking cough. Problem is that Kennel Cough in itself is not so dangerous, but can lead to other Respiratory Infections. Has the pup been vaccinated for Kennel Cough? This is a separate vaccine, that many breeders don't give. This is typically done at 4-6 wks. of age, when buying from responsible breeder. I would call Vet's office in the morning, and get their advice. Respiratory Problems can be serious, particularily in puppies. Good Luck. Hard to say. Kennel Cough is more of a dry hacking cough.

Here's a site where you can read more about it: http://www.chathamanimalrescue.org/kennelcough.shtml You have the right idea in getting her to a vet as soon as you can. Remember, it may NOT be kennel cough! We here at Yahoo can't really tell, because we're not vets and we don't have hands-on experience with your dog. But do read that site I gave you the URL for, and you'll know more about it and feel better about what you know. Good luck! Hope she gets better soon!

Both are not serious unless not taken care of. Antibiotics! My puppy had kennel cough when we brought him home from the pound. They thought it was an upper respiratory infection at the pound, but it was kennel cough. The Vet gave him an antibiotic & would you believe cough syrup.

Even though she may not seem sick in any other way, kennel cough doesn't alway appear "that bad", just a cough, maybe foam coming out (which was the case with our lab), sounding like they have a bone in their throat/coughing something up... Our lab too was playing fine, seemed healthy, ate, was drinking normally. Get her looked at, if for nothing else, as precaution...

This sounds like a good decision for a vet. If you have other pets please keep her isolated until you know for sure as Kennel Cough is as it's name suggests very contagious.

Almost all dogs that come from a shelter have it. Still it's best to talk to your vet. I don't think you need to rush your puppy to the vet unless she stops eating and/or becomes listless.
