The main symptom is a non-productive persistent dry cough that can sound somewhat like a goose honk or as if your pup has something stuck in their throat. Other signs of kennel cough in dogs can include runny nose, sneezing, lack of energy, decreased appetite and mild fever. If your dog is showing signs of kennel cough keep your pet away from other dogs and contact your vet right away for advice. Coughing can also be a sign of canine distemper virus or canine influenza virus. Most dogs recover from kennel cough within a week or two. If your pup's symptoms persist for longer a follow-up veterinary appointment is essential. In some cases, kennel cough can lead to pneumonia.
