My friend thinks Captain (our boxer) may have kennel cough. Has anyone's dog ever had this? Do you know where it comes from? We have not had them at any kennels at all or around any strange dogs. Captain goes to our office every day, but no other dogs are there. He has a dry hacky cough, just coughs once every now and then, mostly first thing in the am and when he gets excited and moves around a lot. It started yesterday morning, and has gradually gotten worse. I hope Button and Elmer don't get it!
I have an appt for him in the morning. Any tips on how to keep this from escalating? Should I disinfect the house? Keep them apart? Captain and Elmer were playing in each other's faces this morning. I just thought he was coughing from a treat he had last night, because he threw up a little this morning.
Thanks for any advice anyone can give!
