KC in pups 3 weeks

Has anyone had pups come down with kennel cough real young like at 3 weeks. I think mine have it. The vet says she doesn't know for sure but she is treating them. Just wondered if anyone else has had real young pups get it?

Re: KC in pups 3 weeks

Yes, I've had them get it at 3 weeks. It's sad to hear them snuffling and snorting. We put them on antibiotics for basically a pneumonia preventative. They all survived fine. At least at three weeks you can start them lapping food off your hand. When they're really young and depend solely on nursing, it's harder when their nasal passages are all congested.

Good luck with your babies, let us know how you make out. I remember it being such a huge worry to me, but we did get through it.
