Title: Warning for doggy lovers
Post by: Khalee on July 16, 2004, 09:23:52 am

We got cases of kennel Cough reported here in Wichita. It closed down the greyhound park. Apparently its a pretty serious deal for a dog, so maybe you all should get you pets checked and a booster shot if there is one.

Thanks Kahlee. :) Strangely enough the same thing happened here in Tampa.
This disease is highly contagious and should be taken seriously.

They said it was like a Person getting a cold, but I have never heard of anyone dieing from a cold, But I guess dogs can and do die from this.

The vaccine lasts about 6 months and is administered in liquid form through the dog's nostrils.

Well, that sounds uncomfortable as all get out, but its better than the alternative.

It's basically a doggie cold - but can lead to complications or other avenues of infection

Thanks for The Warning Khalee. I'll esp. be on the lookout since My Bostons already have a Tendency to Sinus Problems.
