Antibiotics don't cure kennel cough. They prevent a secondary bacterial infection from starting when the dog has a weakened immune system from the viral infection.

You may want to look into OTC...

KC is something I've not had to deal with so all I can send is good wishes it's over soon.

Pot meet Kettle,




First, this is a Labrador site, the breeders here are on here to help and share their experiences with Labradors. This is far and above the breeders that do not.
Second, a...

I'm going to share two experiences from my past that I don't have reason to talk about much...but which shaped me and my outlook toward others. This is for those of you who seem to have a need to...

Thanks for that info Labradorks. I too don't think the pool will be a problem unless Jacksonsmommy notices a worsening. I have not used the Dermoplast but will keep it in mind. Luckily we have not...

I use Dermoplast spray, red top, from any drugstore for hotspots. Works like a charm and is less expensive that most other treatments.

If the dog is going swimming for rehab, you can keep it up,...

Tough spot for a hot spot with the rubbing.

I think there was an issue with dogs getting obstructions from swallowing large-ish pieces of Greenies that did not break down or dissolve in their stomachs or wherever. I also think the Greenies...

He should be OK. He probably ate more figs than his system could tolerate and is cleaning itself out. Plenty of water and a bland diet for a day or two should solve the problem. Some of the figs...

He'll be OK...figs are known (OK, at least by me) to cause intestinal discomfort.

I thought this link was worth having here...don't freak over the title...it shows just what I said above for figs....

Whilst i am no expert on this, I do know that at around 8,000 feet they will experience altitude sickness just as humans do. Its not worth taking the risk at this height. If you can, take the time...

We moved from Orange County CA to Colorado Springs, CO and never even thought about the altitude for the dogs. I would say just keep LOTS of fresh water available and no forced exercise for a few...
