Andrew Rowley Webboard User Reg: 09-25-2012 Posts: 2 Loc: Offline	Hi, my worst fears have been confirmed today as my 2 year malinoi started coughing. She gave birth 6 days ago to a liter of 13. She was exposed to what we know know was a dog with kennel cough two weeks ago. She has had the nasal kennel cough vaccine but to no avail. I will be contacting the vet as soon as they open. I was wondering has anyone come across this before? Will the pups catch it (almost certain i guess) and if so will it be fatal either directly or from secondary infection? Is there anything people could recommend to increase their chances. Will post what the vet says. Thank you from a very upset owner.

I wanted to tell you that the articles weren't too dire and awful (although I know it's dangerous in newborns). I'll see if I saved anything I read. eta Well, not a vet site, but here's one: http://www.ehow.com/how_7791250_treat-kennel-cough-newborn-puppies.html Edited by Connie Sutherland (10/29/2013 09:42 AM) Edit reason: eta

Kennel cough is a bacterial infection which usually responds well to antibiotics. Antibiotics for mom may also be indicated to reduce the load of bacterial agents which she is shedding. Sometimes nursing pups dont' develop agents of disease they way we fear. OTOH, sometimes they do. Let your veterinarian be your guide. And don't be so sure there was 0 protection from the vaccine -- the dam might be much sicker had she not been given vaccine, it's hard to know. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/
