10 Kennel Cough Symptoms
Symptom #9: Meningitis
Meningitis is the inflammation of the lining of the brain called meninges. A similar lining covers the spinal cord. It is worth noting that meningitis is a dangerous condition that can lead to death within a short time.
An untreated infection with B. bronchiseptica can lead to meningitis. This happens because the bacteria infect the upper respiratory tract. The respiratory tract includes the ears and the nose, which are located close to the brain. As the bacteria multiply, they spread to the surrounding tissues. If the infection continues to be active in these areas, it soon gets to the meninges, causing the inflammation known as meningitis.
