At present, when the two seasons change, the temperature changes greatly and the temperature difference between day and night is large. At this time, many canine infectious diseases are particularly likely to be caused. Among them, kennel cough also enters a high incidence period at this time.
Kennel cough is canine infectious tracheobronchitis, which is a canine infectious respiratory disease caused by a variety of pathogens, which can affect dogs of any age. As long as one occurs, other dogs that come into contact with it will also develop this symptom immediately. The course of the disease is more than a week, and in a few cases it can be as long as several months. Most dogs can gradually recover with the improvement of the body’s resistance, and a small number of dogs will develop bronchopneumonia due to untimely treatment.
In the early stage of the disease, the dog’s symptoms are dry cough, and occasionally vomiting or nauseous after coughing, but the spirit and appetite are normal, generally no fever, and no symptoms such as nasal discharge. Within a few days, symptoms manifested as a painful cough, increased body temperature, loss of appetite, and a runny nose.
The treatment of kennel cough needs to treat both the symptoms and the symptoms. It should be noted that because kennel cough is often caused by a variety of opportunistic pathogens to induce throat inflammation, it is difficult for ordinary drugs to reach this part, and most antibiotics cannot play an immediate therapeutic effect. Some dog owners therefore use large doses of antibiotics. However, this practice is very unscientific. Long-term high-dose antibiotics will destroy the immune barrier of the dog’s body and create opportunities for virus invasion.
In the early stage, if you find this situation, you can feed the dog some antiviral oral liquid, such as Shuanghuanglian oral liquid plus Shedan Chuanbei liquid, etc., and then inject dexamethasone. Also, take care to protect your dog from the cold. Also, don’t forget to disinfect your home regularly to give your dog a clean environment!
