[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 333880, member: 1963"] Fran, dogs can get anything from 'kennel cough' (they don't always cough, but the vaccine is not super effective), to one of the various adenoviruses, to actual swine flu. The latter seems to be occurring more in cats and ferrets than in dogs. In all honesty? Since the symptoms you describe could be from so many different things, and since dogs can go into pneumonia incredibly quickly--I'd advise a quick call to your vet. Ask him/her if you should bring the dog in. It's possible that there's a "bug" going around that s/he is aware of. Meanwhile, try to keep her quiet, make sure she is well hydrated and try to keep the air where she is staying moist. Isolating her from the other dogs is probably useless at this point as most of this crud spreads by air and the other dogs have already been exposed. [/QUOTE]
