slip lead 862 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 What socks said, very very easily done this time of year/ temperature. Hopefully a good rest, and it will be fine, if not, could happen after every run or just after a long one. How old is the dog, and on what was it run as freshly cut stubble can also cause this problem. Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Strange she was ok before the run.... How old is the dog ginger? 1 Quote Link to post
brock 11 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 It usually shows first after a run,the best thing to do is put honey,glycerine and tcp in a spray bottle with warm water and give her a few squirts down the throat a few times a day. Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Strange she was ok before the run.... How old is the dog ginger? I've just read online that a case of kennel cough can be exaggerated after heavy excersise. Didn't know that myself. 1 Quote Link to post
