Liz Jones Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 The other interesting thing it said was a dog can carry it without showing symptoms. I'm not sure how accurate this info is but to be on the safe side we'll get ours vaccinated. I'm more concerned how it would affect Safi than anything and we were planning on getting them the vaccination in a few months with a view to putting them in kennels later in the year anyway Know your concerns but hopefully they will be ok... Nick has taken Storm today for her vaccine so deffo I would say to get Safi vaccinated as her immune system will be low anyway... will keep in touch and let you know how everyone is doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingspanner Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 can it affect humans both of us are developing a rather anoying tickly cough Yeah, really bad in humans, the only antidote is copious amounts of red wine. Such a shame we can't give it to the dogs, but it's the grape danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinville Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Last year, just before Iowa camp, I had Ryn vaccinated for this as with all the huskies coming from all over the place, I just wanted to be safe. I know many don't approve of 'unneccesary vacinations, but I felt more comfortable being proactive rather than reactive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Christie Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi Guys looks like we won't be coming to Husky Camp Freya has just been diagnosed with kennel cough yesterday and Brookes come down with it as well today. It's not a nice disease and Freya has it worse. Started with a tickly cough on Sunday and then Sunday night the phlegm started. Monday led to green phlegm so off to the vets with her... they diagnosed kennel cough and prescriped Ronaxan for 5 days... Brooke started with a slight cough today so phoned the vets and he has now prescribed the same for Brooke and Indi even though Indi has no signs yet Rest for a week and then gentle exercise for the next week going to kill me.. as means no more walks with our friends for a while... does anyone know how long they are infectious for??? and how long they should be in isolation from other dogs?? Husky camp is only less than two weeks away and wouldn't want to pass this on to any other dogs .. Freya's cough today has been dry although it is still very hacking and sounds very dry.... Not sure where she picked it up from had been to Formby last weekend and it takes 5 to 7 days to come out so could have been here or when we went to Croxteth Park ?? but could have been anywhere... Keep your eyes on your furbabies and if necessary don't hesitate to seek vets advice as not nice... There are some natural treatments you can use and if anyone has any suggestions on how to treat I'd be very grateful... So sorry for you and the huskies, hope they're better very soon:cry1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thyroid Med. that Kayak is now on is the exact same thing humans take. Our Dakota who what Diabetic, his insulin is the same for people. Husky Lovers in Vermont.

Daniel Cameron Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Sky has had it too since the weekend. No phlegm just just the wrenching cough which has almost gone now and only shows when she talks or plays with the others. I don't think its fair to take the chance with everyone elses dogs at camp or the local meets, so it looks like our weeks camp is off and no group walks too for a while. The other two dogs are not showing any signs but as you know they could still carry it from Sky. What a bummer:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris83 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 would be interesting if there was some sort of way to screen them to see if they are carrying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
