Mason_Gibbs

PS, i clip Mason into the back of my car, I just wind a lead around the headrest and shorten it to required length, he can lay down or sit but not jump out. Attach to collar.

RS my OH's mate at work had a territory, he ended up selling at as it was just too heavy on fuel, even though he only used it on the weekends really.

Im feeding my older dog Canidae Grain Free Salmon very happy with it ( seems to be the only kibble he can handle) and the pup is on RC Lab Junior. May switch him to something with less corn when he is older.

Yeah ST you are right they are never 100% immune to it. I will keep a close eye on my two, they have not been directly exposed to a dog who has it - I know my friends flatcoat shared a bench with Zora and we trained with her on monday but so far she is fine. Its doing the rounds though atm I hear.

Raffikki I am also feeding the Canidae, I would give Black Hawk a go but it has rice in which is no good for us sadly

How is Zora today RV?

I attend Northern Suburbs in Carine, we have a puppy class too

RV when i was visiting Gibbs when he was infected with KC as a small pup my vet said as soon as they stop coughing they are not contagious anymore. From what i have read its when they cough that the virus gets airborne and it then spreads. I was very worried that Mason would catch it but touch wood has never had KC. Guess his reaction to the vac at 10 weeks put him off for life lol...

Guys just spray permoxin daily or even 2x daily. I do it for the flys here in WA but i believe it repels ticks too. You can even mix up a tick dip and spray it daily. Like everyone else says even if clipped they will get under the tail or in the ears so no point in ruining tge coat by clipping it.

Gremlins

RV I am not taking him to the vet unless he gets worse, he is on antibiotics atm anyway but I really dont think he has KC as he runs around like a hoon and no cough, like I said I think its when he gets stuff stuck in this throat from chewing stuff. Found him eating string off the curtain this am Also he only started coughing after he started chewing the canvas off Masons bed.... I have spent $600 on him and his tooth already so not keen for another vet visit unless he really needs it. I have emailed the vet to ask if his symptoms fit KC at all but I doubt it, I was thinking he may have some form of worms as he had to skip his 12 week vacs due to his antibiotics but he got dewormed a few days ago. Had to skip his 12 week deworming i mean until this week lol

Nope this is the other one...

So frustrating when that happens!! I still say entries should be via email or online

When he coughs /chokes its a very dry sort of noise, this puppy of mine is a chronic stick/leaf eater too so i tend to think small pieces of something he eats get stuck in his throat and make him cough.

Will see how he is tomorrow, keeping him at home today anyway.

With KC is it possible for him to only cough once a day and sometimes not even cough that day? I highly doubt Gibbs has KC i think its bits of stick etc that he has eaten which scratch his throat

RV is she coughing a lot?? Gibbs has had a weird choke type thing 1 x a day but i dont think its kennel cough i think he gets things stuck in his throat as he eats whatever he picks up, and he just had KC a few weeks ago. Also Mason is fine he has never had KC so if Givbs had it Mason would too how is Toby?? I was so looking forward to taking Gibbs to class today but im feeling ill so staying home, dont know if its allergies etc but i have terrible sinus and headache which feels like a migraine.

I am going to work on whistle sits and recall for retrieving and water work with Mason. Puppy needs so much work i wont list everything i need to do lol

No Sandra doesnt sound like reverse sneezing.

Could KC really cause them to only have 1 small cough a day? Yesterday we had nothing so im quite confused now...

I will say yes for now been wanting to try this for ages!!! Will put it in my calender now

To be honest if its 35 Rubystar i wouldnt take Mason he would not work n this heat. Rusky i had the same thing happen at Gosnells club with my entry but the night before RS let me know i wasnt in the catalogue and i rang up and they let me compete ( ended up in 2nd place too)

My 14 week old pup started making this weird choking / coughing noise, does it when he first wakes up, maybe 2x a day for the last 3 days. He had kennel cough at 5 weeks so i dont think its that and he is acting normally, still running around like a hoon etc. Any ideas?

Yup i use QV too

Mason never destroyed his soft toys but him and Gibbs together play tug and then rip them apart....
