Treating Kennel Cough – How Serious Is It And Should I Worry
The first time a person might hear about Kennel Cough, as I did, was when I had traveled to China and had to leave my three Min Pins in my veterinarians care. Since he knew their history we figured it shouldn’t be a problem. Then came the question; Have they ever been treated for Kennel Cough?
Since I never heard of it, this seemed like an odd question. Also since he has been their veterinarian for many years why wouldn’t he know? I found out that when dogs and cats come in close contact to other pets such as in a boarding kennel they can contract this disease. Now I was really worried and quite honestly upset.
I take good care of my pet Min Pins and why should I have to worry that someone else’s dog or cat will infect them with a disease I know nothing about? The answer to my problem wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. Since dogs and cats can develop this infectious disease it’s simply a matter of inoculating them against the virus/bacteria before they become exposed to it in close quarter situations.
