This golden oldie is a favorite at Elm house and is in regularly for bandage changes. Unfortunately, Jasper suffers with a few lumps and bumps and has recently had one removed by vet Kirsten. In order for the wound to heal nicely, it is important that he gets his foot bandaged often and so we see Jasper all the time. He is soo good at his appointments and loves getting a treat after. 🩹🐾

What really is kennel cough?

An estimate of 40,000 dogs get kennel cough in the UK every year with many going untreated. This is because it can present is many symptoms from coughing, lack of appetite and lethargy. There is a misconception that dogs can only get it from being in kennels, however as its air born, you furry friend can get it from walks, meeting other dogs, training sessions and doggy daycare.

If you think your dog may have the virus, ensure they have enough water and soft food around as hard foods such as kibble and chews can cause irritation to their throat. Owners can also avoid collars as they can be restrictive, as long as their pet is in an enclosed, safe area.

It is important to isolate your dog from others for 14 days and contact your vet.
This is to prevent spread of the virus; as even vaccinated dogs have a chance of contracting it due to different strains.
