Bordetella Bronchiseptica, Dog Vaccine, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Bordetella Bronchiseptica: is a highly communicable bacterium that causes severe fits of coughing, whooping, vomiting, and, in rare cases seizures and death. It is the primary cause of kennel cough (see below). There are both injectable and nasal spray vaccines available. I recommend only using the injectable (shot version) of the vaccine and not the nasal vaccine. Many times the nasal vaccine can cause a mild case of keenel cough to appear especially in Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies.
