Another successful weekend at the farm, our other trailer is soon becoming our NARC clinic and quaranteen which is a must for new arrivals. We've taken 7 dogs from the SPCA a few weeks ago that came in with Kennel Cough so having a quaranteen building outside of our NARC regular living quarters will ensure our health dogs don't catch diseases. Of course, being that we're still in renovations and had to bring the 7 new doggies into the NARC home, some of our regular pooches have caught the cough but are healthy enough that it won't become infectious.
Kennel Cough, a simple common cold, nothing works to cure Kennel Cough and it will go away on it's own, last up to 10 days. If the cough persists or your dog has green nazal discharge then that means it is Kennel Cough gone wrong (infectious) go to the vet and get an antibiotic to help cure the infection. We give our dogs Oil of Oregano in their water every 2nd day as a regular routine so most of our regulars won't even catch it but for the newly arrivals that don't have the Oil in their system for a month or so - they will certainly end up with a very mild Kennel Cough.
NARC very rarely has Kennel Cough in the house but it is airborne so once it comes in from another shelter, it can infect our other dogs. Just wanted to inform you in case you are visiting us or adopting one of our pooches that they may come with the cough for another week's time!
