Kennel Cough
We have recently seen an increase in kennel cough infections, in dogs of all ages. Ask the VEC team today about vaccination.
Kennel cough is a very contagious respiratory disease that can spread quickly between dogs in close contact with each other such as pet shops, inside kennels, day care and dog shows, but we have recently seen an increase in dogs catching it on the street and from the dog park.
The common signs of kennel cough in dogs are spasms of harsh, dry coughing, running nose, eye discharge and sneezing. The symptoms usually presists for 5-10 days, but a bronchitis cough can linger even for a couple of weeks.
Kennel cough can be prevented with vaccination, so it is important to make sure your puppy gets the necessary jabs.
If your pets are in an emergency or if you have general inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact Veterinary Emergency Centre (VEC).
