Then she couldn't have caught KC from the Eskie, unless the Eskie had kennel
cough and a secondary infection set in which is the pneumonia. Which is why I
said, if she isn't any better after 10 days of being on the med, then she
warrants another visit to the Vet and make sure her lungs are clear. Since, now
you are saying that the Eskie has pneumonia, it makes sense that the Vet
prescribed an antibiotic to ward off a secondary
infection with her as well.
It means that both dogs, after being on an antibiotic for 10 days should be
showing signs of improvement, and regardless, both dogs need to have their
lungs re-checked after they finish the meds to ensure that the antibiotic
worked on both of them. It wouldn't make any sense to seperate them at this
point.

Sorry, the Eskie has pneumonia.. it started w/a cough. Should I keep them apart?

Gina, I don't mean to scare you, just be cautious. If she has been on her meds
for ten days and isn't showing improvement, then she should be re-checked
again. I am curious, you still didn't answer if the Eskie is over the KC or
not..

OMG!! You're scaring me.. however, it is kennel cough because she caught it
from my rescue boy. Before that, she was PERFECTLY healthy! :*(
Also, when I took her in, he listened and didn't hear any fluid in her lungs.

I agree with Peggy, My last dog had what I thought was kennel cough and it was
congestive heart failure. The lungs fill with fluid and they cough. They have
lots of great meds for congestive heart failure. The trick is to check and
find it early. The vet can usually hear the fluid in the lungs this a
stethoscope. Valerie

Hi Gina,
You didn't mention the name of the second med and how long she has been on it.
Is the Eskie over the kennel-cough? or are they just passing it back and forth
to each other? KC can be tricky, some times a dogs meds may have to be changed
several times before one works, but Paris should definitely be monitored by a
Vet in between to rule out any other complications that may exist.
If you feel she is worse then I would strongly recommend that a Vet recheck her
lungs and bronchial tubes.

Hi Everybody!! I'm pretty new to this group and would like to discuss Kennel
Cough in Chi's....
My baby Paris (3.1 lbs) fell victim to this horrible thing when I rescued an
American Eskimo off of death row 3 weeks ago. I have her on meds but this
morning she seemed to be struggling.
Could you tell me if any of you have experienced this and what is the timing on
how quick she should recover? She just finished her 10 day dose of Clavamox and
is on another med.
HELP!! P.S. When I took her to the vets he said the 2nd one should kick it into
high gear. She sounds like she's sniffling inwards and her little body is
trying to get it out!
