10 Kennel Cough Symptoms
Symptom #4: Shortness of Breath
Shortness of breath is another symptom of kennel cough. Breathing difficulty occurs when the inflammation in the trachea and the bronchioles causes constriction of these airways. This makes it difficult for air to flow to and from the lungs. Shortness of breath can also lead to low energy, weakness, and poor appetite.
Pneumonia and shortness of breath, and their secondary symptoms, can easily lead to death especially in infants and people with compromised immunity. It is, therefore, important to seek medical care in case you experience unexplained shortness of breath and more so if this is accompanied by other kennel cough symptoms.
