Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Bordatella? The New (vetinary) Religion, mate Let ye Dog near a vet, these days, and they want it's balls off and " Is he vaccinated against Bordatella??? ". Kennel Girls had the right idea. Bit of garlic's also said to help. But, basicly? Isolate the sufferers and let it run its course. That's always been the way. Just don't walk him down the high st and let him give it to every other poor bugger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rainmaker 7 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi mate, Ditch is bang on mate, as were those kennel girls. Benylin is the dogs for helping kennel cough run its course, really sooths them. My dad's pup caught it (he was a rescue) and I advised the same - keep him indoors, no contact with dogs, don't go near dogs yourself for a bit (carrying the germ), and give him the kid's dose of benylin until it clears up. Works a charm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any knowledge or advice please do share YEs I had a dog with kennel cough,caught it in a boarding kennels,I asked my greyhound vet about remedies ,he said there are so many strains its not worth having jabs [you can get nasal drops too],put him on benylin,and of course isolate him and dont get him anywhere near other dogs ,hope this helps Inan.

scouse moocher 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Cheers mate, took eveyones advice dosed her with belyn and isolated her. She cleared up within a week, unfortunaly every single dog i own and had in at the time caught it too, spread like wild fire so isolating them all was impossible. Few shots of beneyln later its dissapearing. Though i was kenneling sealions for a week or two haha Ant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mole catcher 1 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 to help with the coughing and ease thier discomfort melt some honey in warm milk or water. worked well with my dogs when they had it last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oldskool Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) i always wash the kennels down with a very mild bleach,,, avoid anything with powerful fumes it causes irratation... the new jess fluid seems to be better than the old??? lots of fresh air, in my opinion, is as good as cure as any!
