Saint Bernard General Discussions / Re: how does 1 catch bordetella/kennel cough w/o being kenneled?
« on: October 04, 2005, 12:43:11 am »
I hope Nikki is feeling better soon- I can sympathize! I've got a 13 week old Leonberger with some serious cough/mucous issues going on right now. But I heard that kennel cough is a dry unproductive cough only - is Niki producing any mucous from her nose or eyes?
I'm supplementing my guy with 1000mg Vitamin C/day and keeping him away from other dogs outside. He's also on antibiotics (even though kennel cough is a virus), but hopefully those antibiotics will help with his discharge.
....as I'm writing this CNN is doing a spot on the new Canine Virus/Flu going around and they are saying the new flu has symptoms that mimic kennel cough but with some runny nose stuff too from a secondary bacterial infection. At least it's not as lethal as initial reports suggested.
Sounds like you are taking good care of your girl, I hope she's back to normal soon. How old is she?

Are you in Manhattan by chance? (That's where we are!) What is the name of the Petco stuff you like? I'll need something for Bogard's coat once he matures and it comes in all long and full

ahh, thanks! We're loving him. The Hoka Mix is supposed to be a general overall holistic type of supplement, for their bones and joints and essentially "everything." Similar to a multi-vitamin type of supplement? I have located it on one website so far, that said it's not FDA approved, so hence maybe that is why it's so hard to find in the states.

My Breeder recomended this as a supplement she feeds, but I'm having trouble finding much information about it in the states (she's located in the Vancouver area). I'm still trying to figure out if I'll be feeding supplements or not to my little Bogard (3 months old now).Â

Hi! I'm new to Big Paws, and here is my new Leonberger Bogard. He's a little over 12 weeks now and growing bigger and bigger by the day (no scratch that, the hour!) I was introduced to Big Paws pre puppy in anticipation of my Leo - and have seen a lot of interesting and helpful stuff in the forums....so thanks!
