Hi,
recantly i have put my dogs on the Combination Nosode,which includes kennel cough in it, over the last week or so one of my dogs has been coughing(like theres somthing stuck there) on and off,but it's not been continus,took her to the vet's, and she's got a upper respotory infection and a bit of a high temp, so vet diagnosed kennel cough,
i explained that she'd not been near any other dogs (except my own) and that she was on the nosode's, and the vet told me that the nosode's could have caused it and to take her off them,and that my other dogs would have probably caught it aswell (but there fine),
has anyone ever experianced this, and should i take them off the nosode's,(which i'am reluctant to do).

Hi
How often have you been giving the nosodes?

Maybe this particular dog is proving the remedy ??

(By the way re your apostrophe - there isn't one in nosodes if you mean nosode plural! Unless of course you are referring to something that belongs to the nosodes-- eg the nosode's name, the nosode's origin etc etc - sorry but it drives me mad when used incorrectly!)- do I need a dose of arsenicum ?

Hi
this is the dosage, they have just finished the 1 tab for 6 weeks

1 tablet x 3 times daily for 3 days, then
1 tablet weekly for 6 weeks, then
1 tablet monthly for 6 months,

sorry
was allways rubbish at spelling and writeing,

Dear Jane
A nosode is normally only taken one time one pill,that's it,why so many,so often? What is this nosode called?

Hi,
its the dog combination all in one, helps prevent Hepatitis, Leptospitosis, Hard pad and distemper, Parvo virus and Kennel cough its Made up from 6 separate nosodes,
dont know why so many and why so often, the dosage was what i was told to give them, by the people who make them up (ainsworths).

Dear Jane
Even worse a "COMBINATION homeopathic remedy"...........Homeopaths dont use this.
Lets say you get an aggravation of sorts how do you know what remedy in the combination did this? Lets say there is a partial healing but it comes back,how do you know what remedy in the combination did the healing? because you might need a stronger potency of "that particular remedy"?????
There are no shortcuts to proper homeopathic prescribing.
There are over 5,000 possibilities for each and every ailment that comes along.

Unfortunaly over hear they don't sell the nosodes individualy, only the combinaiton, you can get the kennel cough one sepratly, but the combo one includes the kennel cough so dont need to buy it seprate, the nosodes will be given to the dogs annually, insted of injections from the vets, ainsworths were i bought them from manufacture and supply homeopathic remedys, they are a bit like a pharmacist,
she was allready on the nosodes before she started coughing,she wasnt given them because she was coughing.

When a dogs immune system is strong it will fight off just about any type of viruse and infection. And when the immune system is weak it plays a key role in causing diseases. That is probably the reason why your female got the kennel cough and the others didn't. Her immune system is weak. Did the vet put her on any type of cough suppressants or antibiotics? If you can see if you can get a hold of some Transfer Factor Plus for animals. This will help with the immune system.

she's been put on, oxycare 250mg and rimadyl 20mg,
but how's she caught kennel cough if she's never been near another dog outside of the house and nether has the others, not for the last coupple of months anyway, as one of my other dogs is on cage rest at the moment, due to hip problems, and as she gets agateted if the others go without her i've kept them all in.

Can I ask the reason for giving the female rimadyl (anti-inflammatory drug) which has been know to be deadly for some dogs. Kennel cough (tracheobronchitis) is an easily spread, upper respiratory disease of dogs. It is usually caused by a bacterium, Bordetella bronchiseptica, or the virus, canine parainfluenza. Often both organisms combine in one pet to produce the disease. Other agents, such as Mycoplasma, and other viruses (canine adenovirus 1, canine adenovirus 2, and canine distemper virus) are all potential causes of kennel cough.
