Do you know the symptoms of Kennel Cough? Kennel Cough causes a dog’s throat to become inflamed. It’s similar to bronchitis in humans. If you hear a cough or honking kind of sound from your dog, it is most likely kennel cough. This cough often worsens after exercise, but the animal may still look healthy and eat. If you think your dog has Kennel Cough, you can bring him or her to DPC Veterinary Hospital and clinic for a check up.
Before You Visit a Fort Lauderdale Animal Clinic
Make sure to isolate your dog from other dogs if you suspect Kennel Cough. You can provide some relief with a vaporizer or turning on a hot shower in a closed bathroom for a short time. Try not to smoke around your pet, as this causes more throat irritation. If symptoms persist visit a Davie or Ft Lauderdale animal clinic like DPC Veterinary Hospital for a cough suppressant or antimicrobial.
Kennel Cough is treatable and in most cases you dog will show signs of improvement in one or two weeks with the right medications from an animal clinic like DPC.
