How to Slash Vet Bills on this Highly Contagious Disease
Every day I scan the stories affecting dogs from around the world
to keep up to date on what’s happening with regard to changes in
adoption policy and laws, nutritional, behavioral and canine health
issues.
I was struck by a recent piece by Dr. Andrew Jones, a veterinarian
in Canada that warns of an outbreak of a contagious disease among
dogs that I thought you might want a heads up on.
I am reprinting a portion of the Veterinarian’s writing below along
with his recommendations on how to treat your dog at home and save
money on the high costs of trips to the Vet :
The contagious disease in question is…….
“Kennel Cough…
It’s a combination of a Virus ( Influenza) and
a Bacteria called Bordetella.
The signs are a sudden onset of a ‘goose honking’
cough, that often then leads to retching because
of sooo much coughing.
MOST dogs are still alert- eating and drinking.
I have seen a few older dogs that have developed
pneumonia as a result - BUT that is because they
are older and don’t have a fully functioning
immune system.
————————————-
And the TREATMENT is…..
————————————
Well that depends on who you see.
Many Veterinarians, including myself in my
earlier days- will INSTANTLY prescribe antibiotics.
BUT if your dog is young, and still alert,
including eating and drinking, AND has
clear lung sounds, then these are
NOT needed.
————————————-
NO antibiotics..WHY?
————————————
Think of it like you having a Cold.
If it is a virus, antibiotics WON’T do
anything.
The disease has to run it’s course.
————————————–
BUT what can I do?
————————————-
1. We do not know if it is viral or bacterial-
BUT it will run it’s course. If your dog is
bright and alert, and eating and drinking,
then she can be treated at home.
2. Give your pet an immune boost- add in
chopped FRESH Garlic to their diet- 1 clove per 40lbs
3. You can mix Eucalyptus Essential Oil in a
vaporizer- and leave in the room a few feet
from where your pet is sleeping
4. Here is a New Herbal Combination for Coughing
Dogs with Kennel Cough:
1 part Coltsfoot
1 part Elecampane
1 part Mullein
1 part Yarrow
1 part marshmellow
Mix the tinctures together- and dose at 1ml per40lbs
3 times daily for 3-5 days :”
