Have you heard about Kennel Cough?

Well, I just did last Saturday when we brought our dog to the veterinarian. We only complained about our dog having cough. the Vet immediately asserted it may be a kennel cough because it is rampant nowadays with dogs. It can make them lose their appetite, and the worse, make them weak and kill them. We already noticed her not eating the normal way. We were afraid she might get weak. We were also afraid because she also had experienced collapsing because of cough before. But it was not a kennel cough. Kennel cough is contagious so they should be isolated or immunized with proper vaccine. We do not have any choice, we agreed to let our dog be confined in his clinic to avoid our other dogs to get the sickness too. She should stay there for 7-8 days to complete the medications - antibiotics, cough suppresant and anti-inflamatory for the lungs. It's just too sad to see her being left behind. I saw her facial expression like asking me "why do you need to leave me here?" He kept on jumping towards me like telling me "please don't leave me!" My mom and I were teary-eyed when we left the clinic. It was so sad especially for my mom because she's used to be with each of them everyday. Hope she'll get well very very soon...
