my poor Duncan Doodle—i think it's kennel cough

[Sally]

so i was at the home of a friend on Friday who has 2 German Shortair Pointers....They were both very sick with kennel cough. I left Duncan home. And when I got home I quickly washed up and changed my clothes just in case. Well apparently that didn't work. He just started coughing suddenly tonight (3 days later). My poor boy. It's so sad. I'm bringing him to vet tomorrow. I know it just has to run its course in most cases but i'd rather err on the side of caution and have him checked out.

no dog park for a few weeks. Thank god i work from home and can be here with him so he doesn't have to be miserable alone. I feel so guilty. I shouldn't have gone to that house knowing they had sick dogs. I really didn't expect that i'd be the one to transmit it. Ah poop!!!

Duncan, we hope that nasty cough goes away soon.

[HeatherA]

Aww poor guy. Hopefully he will recover quickly.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

He will be feeling good as new sooner than that - trust me! Peri was back to her normal self after a few days of antibiotics. Luckily it is very treatable! Good luck and get better soon Duncan!!!!!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Feel better Duncan! Poor pup.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Aw, poor Duncan! I hope he feels better very soon!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Duncan.

it's official...duncan's got kennel cough! doctor gave antibiotics and said he should be feeling good as new in 2 weeks. no temperature so that is a good thing. look at this face!

well all the dogs go to the same dog park so the other dogs might have been contagious before they showed symptoms and we were all there about a week and a half ago. Then i also had duncan at a friends house to play with a dog they just rescued. They never told me but apparently bailey was coughing and on antibiotics and was IN a kennel at the shelter. So that was 2 weeks ago. In any event what's done is done. my poor baby was coughing and spitting up until 3am and then was ok until now he spit up again. Vet is taking him in an hour. I hope it exits as swiftly as it came. My mushball can't get any mushier.

Poor Duncan. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

I I agree. This bacterial illness takes longer to incubate so even if Duncan has this you probably didn't bring it home from your friend. Do the dogs have some other dog or point of contact in common?
