10 Kennel Cough Symptoms
Symptom #10: Septicemia
Sepsis is a complication of infection in any part of the body, including kennel cough infection. As mentioned above, kennel cough is the result of infection of the respiratory system by B. bronchiseptica. If the infection is not treated or the treatment is not effective, the bacteria can continue multiplying within the body. This can lead to poisoning as the body’s immune system tries to fight the infection unsuccessfully.
If the body’s defense mechanism continues to a fight kennel cough infection unsuccessfully, resultant poisoning can cause septicemia. Septicemia can present with symptoms like low blood pressure, multiple organ failure, or even death.
