KENNEL COUGH OUTBREAK

26/07/2017

GRV is notifying participants of a recent spike in infectious Kennel Cough across the Victorian greyhound racing industry. Kennel Cough is highly infectious and dogs with the disease can remain infectious for up to 3 months after symptoms disappear.

Prevention is largely reliant on regular annual vaccination and good kennel management. Participants who suspect a greyhound of having kennel cough should immediately isolate the greyhound, disinfect their kennels, and contact their veterinarian for advice on treatment and vaccination.

Individual immunity to the disease can be maximised by maintaining a regular program of vaccinations in all dogs, from the time of their puppy through to adulthood.

 

Kennel Cough is a complex disease caused by various combinations of viruses and bacteria, so vaccination may not always prevent the disease. However, vaccination will minimise the severity of symptoms in most cases.

 

GRV recommends that all participants speak to their veterinarian as soon as possible about preventative measures, including vaccination, to decrease the spread of the current outbreak of this disease.

Further information on Kennel Cough can be obtained from https://greyhoundcare.grv.org.au/faqs/kennel-cough/
