What is it? "Kennel cough" is an infectious bronchitis characterized by hard, dry cough, which most people refer to sound like "

something stuck in my throat dog. "This is the same chest cold for humans and only a serious condition in special circumstances (see below), in general, it resolves itself. Dog kennel cough generally feels active and maintains a normal appetite despite frequent bouts of coughing. There is usually no fever or weakness, just a lot of coughing. Not sure what seems to cough DOGS? Dogs can make a range of respiratory sounds. Usually the cough is very recognizable, but it is important to know another sound called "reverse sneezing. "Reverse sneezing is often mistaken for cough, choking to want to sneeze to vomit, or even choke. Indeed, reverse sneezing is a post-nasal drops or "tickle in the throat. "This is normal, especially for small dogs or dogs, and only require attention if he felt to be" excessive. "The point is to know the cough, when you see one. Cough may be dry or "productive", that is followed by gag, swallowing motion, frothy mucus production (not to be confused with vomiting). Here are some videos that can help:

many causes coughing and coughing cheap strattera character usually does not reflect on its cause. BACK sneezing dog: dog cough, which has a poor appetite, fever, and / or lethargy should be tested for. How is the infection? Infected dog sheds infectious bacteria and / or viruses in the respiratory tract. These are a selection of aerosol and float in the air to be inhaled healthy dogs. The normal respiratory tract has substantial safeguards against invading infectious agents. The most important of these is probably what is called the "mucociliary escalator

. "This guarantee consists of tiny hair like structures called" cilia "which protrude from the cells lining the airways, and continue on a layer of slime on them. Cilia beat in a coordinated manner through the lower and more watery mucus layer called "salt. "A thick layer of mucus called the" gel "floats on the surface of the sol. Rubbish, including infectious agents, caught in a trap in sticky gel and cilia move them up towards the throat where the collection of debris and mucus may cough and / or swallowed. infectious agents (viruses such as reovirusy, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, and even >> << you can start an infection). Without this protective mechanism, invading bacteria, especially

Bordetella bronchiseptica, the chief agent of kennel cough can just go down the airways unimpeded. Bordetella bronchiseptica They are able to communicate directly eyelashes, making them unable to move for a 3:00 contact. They secrete substances that disable the immune cells normally responsible for the destruction of bacteria consumption. Because it is common for Bordetella must be accompanied by at least one infectious agent (for example, one of the viruses listed below), "Kennel cough" is actually a complex of infections rather than infection of one agent. Classically, dogs get infected when they are in a crowded situation with poor air circulation, but a lot of warm air (eg, boarding kennel, vaccination clinic, obedience class, local park, animal shelter, animal receiving rooms of the hospital or care salon). In reality, most causes of coughing that begin acutely dogs by infectious diseases and usually represent some form of kennel cough. AS diagnosis? Typically, the influence crowds history of dogs in due time, plus typical results of the examination (cough, a dog that feels good, otherwise) is sufficient for diagnosis. Radiographs show bronchitis, although severe cases may develop pneumonia, especially if the dog distemper virus in question. How contagious is it? Bordetella infection can be picked up by rabbits, guinea pigs, pigs, cats (if they are very young and placed in groups), and other dogs. Bordetella, are generally not considered contagious to humans, although it is closely related to Bordetella pertussis, whooping cough agent. Immune-suppressed people could potentially be infected. Among Cough breeding dogs fairly contagious depending on voltage level, vaccination status and the impact of small viruses. Dogs shed Bordetella organisms

for up to 3 months after infection. Our clinic recommends keeping all dogs current on Bordetella, as you never know when they will be in unexpected situations. How to treat kennel cough? Although in most cases will go by themselves, we like to think that we can speed up recovery with antibiotics to directly kill the organism Bordetella

. Also, kennel cough can be treated with cough, to provide comfort during natural recovery. In addition, antibiotics and cough can be combined. When a serious illness? Very young puppies, especially with the recent history of navigation (eg, pet store puppies) are especially prone severe cases of infectious tracheobronchitis (frequently progressing to pneumonia). In dogs where the distemper virus is involved (usually home or pet store puppies) are a huge potential for serious consequences. (For more information about the Troubles.)

There are two main options for kennel cough vaccination: injectable and intranasal. It is important to understand that not all members of the complex cough vaccine is nurseries. Furthermore, since nursery cough is localized infections (ie it is local to the respiratory tract), is an infection that defies prevention through vaccination. Vaccination should be regular growth and often vaccination simply muffles the severity of infection, preventing it completely. Injectable vaccination is a good choice for aggressive dogs that may bite if their muzzle came. For puppies, injectable vaccination provides good systemic immunity in two doses of the data (approximately one month) over the age of 4 months. Amplifiers are usually awarded annually. better immunity receiving injections or nasal boosters for kennel cough. Parainfluenza, adenovirus type 2, and all members of the complex kennel cough, is covered by the standard vaccine DHLPP, basic vaccine for dogs. Adenovirus type 2 serum also imunizuyut against adenovirus type 1, the agent of infectious canine hepatitis. Intranasal vaccine can be given already by 3 weeks of age and immunity generally lasts 10-12 months. (Usually this vaccine is increasing every year, but if anyone looks forward to the inevitable effects, both in boarding, racing or other events of dogs together, it is optimal to increase if 6 months have passed). The advantage here is that local immunity is stimulated directly at the place where the natural infection will try to acquire. It takes 4 days to create a strong immune response after vaccination yntranazalnoy, so it is best if the vaccine at least 4 days before exposure. Some dogs will have some sneezing or nasal discharge within a week after yntranazalnoy vaccination. As a general rule, nasal vaccination provides immunity rather than injected vaccines. as injectable and nasal vaccination (and not just get one or the other). IF VACCINE NOSE accidentally by injection, abscess CAN CAUSE under the skin! Nasal vaccine can be given by injection. ALREADY Incubation kennel cough. WHAT TO DO IF kennel cough does not improve? As noted earlier, this infection is usually self. It should be at least partially improved after one week of treatment. If improvement is not observed at this time re-check exam (possibly including radiographs of the chest) would be a good idea. Retrieved from Kennel cough you allow the underlying disease. Kennel Cough can activate previously asymptomatic

or condition may be reached. There is another respiratory infection is called, which seemed to be racing greyhound issue only to the end of 2005. This infection causes fever and pneumonia, but starts to look like a normal cough nurseries. This infection is much more serious, highly contagious, but now seems to be rare.
