If you think your dog might have the condition, you should keep them away from other animals and contact your veterinarian. Although most cases of kennel cough will resolve without treatment, medications may speed recovery or minimize symptoms during the course of infection. These include\u00a0antibiotics that target Bordetella bacteria and cough medicines. Most dogs with kennel cough recover completely within three weeks, though it can take up to six weeks in older dogs or those with other medical conditions.<\/p><p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pets.webmd.com\/dogs\/kennel-cough-in-dogs\">https:\/\/pets.webmd.com\/dogs\/kennel-cough-in-dogs<\/a><\/p><p>Cats: The described symptoms are typically diagnosed as Feline Upper Respiratory Infection.

However, it is important to monitor your new animal and if any of these signs are happening at the same time to reach out.\u00a0<\/p><p>Dogs: Parvo is an infectious DNA virus that commonly causes severe illness in young and unvaccinated dogs. Although parvovirus is most common in puppies and adolescent dogs, it can affect adult or senior dogs, especially if they are unvaccinated. It is spread by contact with contaminated feces, but you don\u2019t have to see solid feces for the virus to be present. It can live on the ground or on surfaces in kennels, on peoples\u2019 hands, or on the clothing of people that have been contaminated. Dogs could also carry it on their fur or paws if they have come into contact with contaminated fecal material. A dog infected with canine parvovirus will start to show symptoms within three to seven days of infection. An infected puppy will often show lethargy as the first sign, and they may not want to eat. They will also often have a fever. As the virus progresses, your dog will begin to suffer from severe vomiting and diarrhea. Fecal ELISA tests (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) are the most common way of diagnosing a dog with parvovirus in a clinical setting. The test requires a fecal swab and takes about 10 minutes. While this test is accurate, a negative result does not necessarily rule out parvovirus in a symptomatic dog, as they may not be shedding the viral antigen at the time of testing. Further testing may be needed in these cases. Recovery from parvovirus varies case by case. Full recovery may take quite a while depending on the severity of the disease and the damage it has done. Dogs that can recover from infection are sick for five to 10 days after symptoms begin.\u00a0<\/p><p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/dog\/conditions\/infectious-parasitic\/c_dg_canine_parvovirus_infection\">https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/dog\/conditions\/infectious-parasitic\/c_dg_canine_parvovirus_infection<\/a><\/p><p>Cats: Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV, pan-loo-ko-peeneea), also commonly referred to as feline distemper, is a highly contagious and life-threatening viral disease in the cat population. Feline distemper is actually a misnomer, as the virus is closely related to the\u00a0canine parvovirus. Kittens between the ages of two to six months are at highest risk for developing severe disease symptoms, as well as pregnant cats and immune compromised cats. In adult cats, panleukopenia usually occurs in a mild form and may even go unnoticed. Fortunately, cats who survive this infection are immune to any further infection with this virus. Cats acquire this infection when they come into contact with infected blood, feces, urine or other bodily fluids. The virus can also be passed along by people who have not washed their hands appropriately or have not changed clothing between handling cats, or by materials such as bedding, food dishes or equipment that has been used for other cats. Affected cats will require immediate treatment, and often hospitalization. The first major goal of treatment is to restore body fluid levels and electrolyte balance. Specific treatment will depend on the severity of your cat\u2019s illness, but it is likely to include in-hospital care for several days in an isolation room to prevent spreading it to other animals. Once your cat is home from the hospital, you will need to isolate her from other cats until all the symptoms have resolved and your veterinarian gives the okay. This could take up to 6 weeks. If your cat is treated promptly and effectively, she may recover fully. It may take a few weeks for your cat to feel completely back to normal.\u00a0<\/p><p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/cat\/conditions\/infectious-parasitic\/c_ct_feline_panleukopenia\">https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/cat\/conditions\/infectious-parasitic\/c_ct_feline_panleukopenia<\/a><\/p><p>If you have any medical concerns after adopting your animal, do not hesitate to reach out to our staff.
