Hi,

Two sets of friends dogs have come down with a cough virus.One friend took all his 5 dogs to the vets,as all coughing.They have been put on anti-biotics,and been told it is not kennel cough.

Then another friend rang me this afternoon,and her dogs are all coughing.We all went to a Lurcher show at Selby,and are hoping its not something going around.We were going to a show tomorrow,but have decided not to go,as we are worried our dogs might catch it.I suppose when you have a lot of dogs together,these things can happen.I have enough headaches with my dogs at the moment,without a cough as well!!!

Hi Karen

I must say it sounds like kennel cough to me.I just hope mine don,t get it,it,s a bugger to get rid of.It will be interesting to see if many more have it.

The virus would normally manifest itself as a cough 7 - 10 days after being exposed to the virus - so your friends dogs could have passed it on at Selby, but they would have caught it before that Hope they're feeling better soon :thumbsup:

amanda theres been another virus going around at the moment and i think iyts got the same symptons as kennel cough but its more dangerous.ill ask our jac where the thread is in non ped whippets :thumbsup:

There has been kennel cough going round the greyhound flapping tracks but previous to this there was some isolated incidents of NGRC dogs dying through what's suspected to be canine influenza.

It's most likely that what's going round is kennel cough but I think anyone who's dog develops symptoms should seek veterinary advice as soon as feasibly possible.

The full complex details of the investigation within the NGRC can be seen on their websites press release pages. NGRC Press release

So far,mine are o.k.All my dogs are indoor dogs,whereas both my friends dogs are not.I wonder if that makes a difference.June said it usually manifests in 7-10 days,so hopefully if you don,t have it now,you won,t.Thanks for the info,i will pass it on.

I was at Selby all weekend and Murphy is fine so I doubt it came from there.

I have treated 6 dogs in the last 2 weeks for this cough very successfully with homeopathic treatment so if any other dogs come down with this cough please get in touch and get it treated as naturally as possible. I also have a homeopathic vaccination for kennel cough - well worth taking before mixing with any other dogs possibly exposed to it.

Hi,

My other friend had to take two of her dogs to the vets this morning,and the vet has given all of her 6 dogs anti-biotics.The vet told her he has seen a lot of cases in the past two weeks,but all should be well in a few days,it,s just one of these things
