kitchens Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Our dog was in kennels for 12 days recently and he seems to have developed a bit of a sneeze .... any ideas? He is a cairn terrier. 7 years old. Fully vaccinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 It might not be kennel related - Jazz has a pollen allergy and she's sneezing a lot at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 It could be an upper respiratory tract infection or in human terms 'a cold'. Pet colds are caused by airborne virus and bacteria and dog kennels are a good source of infection. Like a common cold it should resolve itself but any secondary bacterial infections might need vet treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Could easily be a variation of 'kennel cough'. They can sneeze an 'reverse' sneeze which is more of a snort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Assume he had the Kennel cough vaccination? My friends dog caught Kennel cough without going in kennells - assuem it was from mixing with other dogs in the park. When she went to the vets she wasnt allowed in there but the vet came out to the car. Personally I would get it checked out - just in case.

The Dogmother Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 My Ruby has recently had a cold and cough - she's fine now, but do keep an eye on your dog as it can escalate on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchens Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks for your replies and advice everyone. The snuffles seem to be getting better but I am keeping an eye on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
