Re: Kennel Cough in early pregnancy

It's not always bad news. I had a girl that was 2 weeks into her pregnancy get a severe case of kennel cough and had to be put on antibiotics (safe for pregnancy of course), and ended up having a litter of normal healthy puppies and didn't have any with complications or issues of any type. It's not always doom and gloom and bad news! I hope that your girl and litter are just fine and I'm sure they will be!

Best of luck!

Re: Kennel Cough in early pregnancy

Implantation does not take place until 14-16 days, to my recollection, so early exposure to viruses may be a non-issue. It's after implantation, where the feti are trying to grab ahold of the uterine lining, where the coughing and the virus may affect them. You might just be okay. Best of luck with your girl's pregnancy.
