Kennel Cough ????? urgent

Hello

I think i have a sister mate of Millie. She is absolutely gorgeous and called Lexi.

I must say that Lexi did cough a few days after picking her up. I had already taken her for a vet check on the day I collected her at a local vet and they said she was perfect. When she started coughing i took her back to the vets and she was given anti-biotics for Kennel cough. My vet said it was not a fault of anyone due to the nature of the cough virus. They said it had an incubation period of up to a week and that it is a common cold of dogs. The coughing and wretching was distressing but the anti biotics need to run their course and it will be fine. I know millie will be after the course- just be brave. You almost want to soothe their throats and cough for them.

I can't say I have had any problems with Rosedale. They are great and understanding about the cough and have paid for the bills, they offered my the chance to bring Lexi to them to get her right and pick her up after the antibiotics but i declined. I visited week on week and a few days before picking her up and never heard a cough (and neither did my vets). So can only thank the girls there for paying the bills and giving me such a sweetie. She is full of character, follows me round and is into everything. I adore her and had a great experience.

I hope you havent let this ruin your experience with Millie, it is distressing but also one of those things. TLC and lots of puppy cuddles and I forget all about it. Let us know how she gets on with the antibiotics and let your vets put your mind at ease!
