Guest oldskool Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 make sure he is gettin plenty of fresh air. [bANNED TEXT] u are cleaning out his kennel only use mild disenfectant like detol because the fumes strong disenfectant eg. jase fluid will irratate his throat.

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 A good vet would tell you the truth-Kennel cough is a virus and therefore not treatable .It has to run its course and is very infectious during the first week.It lasts for roughly 2 weeks and was no doubt transfered to you from contact with other dogs either in the early stages or full blown .No antibiotics will affect it either way.The usual thing is to keep them in and avoid passing it on .

Virkon S is a better disinfectant. Durimitex is for lofts and mites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
