Where can I find the cheapest bordetella in Columbus, Ohio.

I’ve tried google and couldn’t find anything.

Does anyone have an idea of where I can find it?

If you don’t know what bordetella is, it’s Kennel Cough vaccine.

I got a new puppy in January. My mother has 2 other dogs, that I keep at my house a lot of the time. About a week after I got the puppy, one of my mom’s dogs was wheezing in her sleep. We took her to the vet, and she had a slight fever. He put her on antibiotics. The next day, the puppy and her other dog were showing the same symptoms. I asked the vet tech if they could keep catching it from each other. She told me no, they couldn’t. It’s been about a month now and they seem to have it again. 2 of them are Boston Terriers, and one is a Boston/Pug, and I’m used to a lot of snorting and grunting, but their noses are runny too. The oldest Boston also has been having some reverse sneezing and coughing as of today. We’ll probably take them to the vet again soon, but in the meantime, was the vet tech wrong? Could they be catching this from each other over and over again? Could it just be my paranoia, being that they are "snorty, wheezy" dogs?
Our dogs are always totally up to date on all vaccinations. It bothers me that anyone would assume otherwise. I take good care of my dogs. In fact, a few weeks ago, the puppy survived parvo, following one parvo vaccination. I’m still picking up poop when he goes, and bleaching the floor and ground where it falls. I’m giving the Boston some Prednisone that her vet gave her years ago, in case her allergies bothered her. She has always had a lot of allergies. Maybe that’s all this is.
Ready for Spring, they only vaccinate for Bordetella (which they have ALL had); only one of the causes of kennel cough. You may want to look into that. Snarky, aren’t we?
I wouldn’t think distemper would go away and then come back like that. And they don’t feel hot to me and they act as though they feel perfectly fine. I am watching the mucus; it’s clear, so I’m not worried about distemper.

my cat is not feeling well….we just got her from the pound, and she was a stray. She eats, but then she starts coughing and throws her food up. I gave her olive oil, because I thought it was a hairball. I’m just worried about my cat.

She’s lethargic and makes weird snorting sounds. She does not have Kennel cough and she is not vomitting. She is an old dog.

I am writing this question with the opinions of four different vets, and seven very sick puppies with a mystery illness.

I have seven puppies and a mama dog that came from a shelter in West Virginia. The puppies are estimated to be about five or six weeks old. When we got the puppies, they all had diarrhea, including mom. They were transported in a car with six kittens who developed upper respiratory and another puppy who has not gotten sick.

When we initially took the puppies to the first vet, he said they must have upper respiratory and gave us Amoxi to treat them with. When I went to check at the puppies at the foster’s house on Saturday, one of them was very lethargic and refusing to eat. I rushed him to the emergency vet where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and I was told to begin treatment using Doxycycline.

I took him home with me so he could have constant attention and have fed him formula, puppy food, and pedialyte every two or three hours. At first he perked up, but then began to go downhill again. At the same time, mom dog was rushed to a different emergency vet because she could not breathe- and diagnosed with kennel cough.

When my puppy began to go downhill again, I put him on nutri-cal puppy as well, and brought him to my usual vet. They suspected kennel cough in the whole litter and pneumonia in four of the puppies. Another puppy also began to go downhill (fever, vomiting, lethargic, wouldn’t eat, etc) so I brought her home with the first puppy. She perked up the next day so I brought her back to her litter- the first puppy was still very lethargic.

We weighed puppies and took temperatures regularly- more began coming down with fevers, while the puppy in my home was running a normal temperature, but was still very lethargic.

Now we come to today. I brought my puppy to the vet this morning- where they gave him fluid for a third time, took a fecal sample (bloody stool), and ran all sorts of tests, one of which was a parvo test. We have not gotten the results back for that yet, but we did get the results for the other tests- his liver and kidneys are beginning to fail and his red blood cell count is extremely low. He also has pain in his abdomen.

The really confusing part began a few minutes ago. This puppy has been lethargic with diarrhea for days. I have force fed him pedialyte, nutri-cal, and puppy formula (yes, they should be off that by now). Now, he is barking, jumping around, wagging his tail, and licking me (he has not licked me since he got to my house!).

All of the puppies are going back and forth. Some will be lethargic, then bounce back up. Then others are lethargic and later bounce back up. Some have crusty discharge from their noses, some are coughing. Some have a fever.

Does this sound like Parvo? Could this be something else? We are taking all Parvo precautions now- but might they not be necessary?
I should also add that my vet has given me the fluid and needle to administer the fluid with- because the puppies need to be hydrated if they do indeed have Parvo. Should we still be doing this even if we don’t know what they have?
Thank you for reminding me about the time frame, LeeAnn- it has been about a week.
I guess there will always be one person who doesn’t actually read the question and just touts a vet visit.

So I adopted a dog from an animal shelter on Friday and the shelter was incredibly disgusting. I am working with a rescue group to help get him adopted and she gave him bordatella on Saturday. He started coughing yesterday and it was just white foam, but is has persisted today and is now a yellow/greenish color phlegm he is coughing up. He also will not eat or drink and is very lethargic.

I plan on taking him to the vet tomorrow, but are there any suggestions I can do to help make him feel a little better tonight? Also do you think that because she gave him the bordetella on Saturday, this could be a reaction from the vaccine and now his body is just showing temporary signs of kennel cough? Or could the virus/bacteria been dormant in his body? Or could it be pneumonia?

Thanks!

we live in a rural area with 25 acres. i was looking online and it said that the dog is usually infected 1-2 weeks prior to symptoms, like if they were with a lot of dogs or were the virus was relevant. 1-2 weeks ago she was chasing cows for about an hour and wasn’t coughing. other than that she hasnt seen any dogs except our other healthy ones. now yesterday we were on a walk and she started to chase a deer and she came back coughing and gagging. we though she was just out of breathe until this morning she was still gagging and coughing harshly. could this be a respritory infection or just something that will pass. she coughed all night it made me cry, should i call the vet? or is it a false alarm? help please?

We had a dog who had kennel cough. About 2 week ago in our home and now im about to get a new puppy… what should i do to my home??(as in cleaning,disenfecting….) in order for my new puppy not to Catch! this cough!! can anybody tell me please!! i would die if my puppy caught kennel cough!

on friday a friend of mine is going to bring me a 6 month old dachshund who is very ill. he has a horrible cough that he’s had for at least a week so i’m assuming that its kennel cough. i’ve never had a dog with kennel cough and i’ve made him a vet appointment for the moment he arrives here. but i have two other dog and i need to know if this dog poses a threat to their health. also i’d like to know what treatment is involved and how long it takes. thanks
also i was told that there is something wrong with his hips and my friend said she tought it may be hip dysplasia but i’ve never heard of it in a dog that young. is it more likely from being confined in a small space or could it be hip dysplasia?

Small dog with kennel cough

Hello!

My 4-month old female boxer has suffered from a chronic cough for the past 3 weeks or so where she sounds like a 30+ year smoker hacking up a lung. However, it only occurs around when she has been sleeping (i.e., middle of the night, first waking up). Additionally, she has a runny nose with a thick, sometimes yellow mucus.

I have taken her to the vet where she has been put on two different antibiotics. Also:

1. Her cough has cleared from occuring all the time to what was explained above;
2. The Vet, upon checking her out, said there was no fluid in the lungs and ruled out pnemonia;
3. She recently tested positive for Giardia and just started meds for it.

Has anyone else had these symptoms with his/her boxer? Could it be allergies? Additional symptons of Giardia? For the 1.5 months we have had poor Piper, she has been on various antibiotics.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

It’s a super long story but I’ll try to make it as short as possible. I’ve been working at a Veterinary hospital for 5 years. We take in stray animals. Here lately the stray population is out of control. I am in charge of the kennel. My job is to make sure that the animals are clean and fed and also to make sure that the kennels and cages are kept clean. Right now we have about 27 strays. We also have sick animals there for treatment and we do surgeries everyday. So I usually have about 35 to 40 animals that I take care of daily. I am a perfectionist. I always give work 150%. I do the best I can to keep up with everything but it is impossible. The other girl that works on the days that I’m off doesn’t do things like I do. Alot of times I’ll go to put an animal in a cage and have to pull it back out because the cage will have dried poop, snot, or whatever in it. If I wouldn’t put my own dog in it then I sure wouldn’t put someone elses dog in it for fear that the animal might catch something from the animal that was in it before. The Doctors are aware of the problem but no one does anything. So I asked them if we could have a 15 stray animal limit. Now everyone thinks that I hate animals and that I would rather they all just die then have to take care of them. It really hurts my feelings and obviously isn’t true. I work with evil women. Anyway, I told them that if we are going to have so many animals then I won’t have alot of time to make sure that everything stays clean and safe for the clients that trust us to take care of their pets. In the past year there have been several animals that have been healthy who have come to us to get spayed or something routine and when they leave they are sick, either coughing or sneezing or have something even worse. I think thats terrible. Right now every one of our 19 stray dogs have kennel cough and upper respiratory infection except for 2. Hello, thats is a serious problem. The hospital is filthy and I’m killing myself everyday to try and clean as much as I can. I’m thinking about leaving and I don’t know what to do. I love my job but it has gotten out of control. I need some advise. By the way it is mostly the Technicians who bring in all of the strays and then they refuse to help with them. They sit around and eat and talk on their cellphones and read magazines while I’m back there killing myself. What do you think I should do? Should I leave after putting in so much hard work for the last 5 years or should I try to stick it out and maybe try to talk to them again? This is a big life decision and I’m scared to death. This was suppose to be my last job.
Wow. I am very pleased with all of the first three answers. I geuss I was prepared for the worst comments like "suck it up or you’ll have that anywhere you go". What is even worse for me is the fact that I love my boss/owner. I know his heart is in the right place because when he sees a sick stray he can’t say no. He also pays for all of their food and medications and barely has enough money to stay open. If it wasn’t for that I would have probably left along time ago.

I think she may have it. She has an appointment with the Vet tomorrow afternoon. Will she be OK until then? How dangerous is it?

My dog was vaccinated yesterday for rabies and kennel cough. Today he woke up coughing, but this seems to have subsided. Now he seems very tired. I assume this is normal with vaccines and nothing to worry about. Is it?

My dog is sick – sounds like she has phlegm stuck in her throat – but that is her only symptom besides lethargy. She is eating, drinking, peeing and pooing just fine. I thought it might be because she ate some cat poo with clumping litter yesterday and it got stuck somehow? But it also sounds like it could be kennel cough. Is it possible for her to get that without being around any other dogs? She isn’t really coughing – just dealing with phlegm – especially when she tries to sniff things.

I am taking her to the vet tomorrow morning since they are closed today.
