Oxygenated blood returning from the lungs enters the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary vein, travels through another A-V valve into the left ventricle and leaves the heart to enter the body through another semilunar valve which separates the left ventricle and the aorta.

The Chordae Tendinae prevent the valves from inverting (turning inside out) when they shut. The blood will now circulate through the body and back into the heart again through the vena cavas. This circulation of blood through the body to meet the needs of the tissues is called the systemic circuit.

Kennel cough can be caused by viral infections such as canine distemper canine adenovirus or canine parainfluenza virus or bacterial infections such as Bordetella bronchiseptica.  Both viral and bacterial causes of kennel cough are airborne illnesses.  It can also spread through contact with contaminated surfaces and through direct contact. Exposure occurs in environments where there are other dogs in proximity such as kennels dog shows and groomers. Symptoms begin usually 3 to 5 days after exposure.  The disease can progress to pneumonia if left untreated.

Treatment of kennel cough includes rest nutritional supplements fluids and a warm environment.  Antibiotics are given to treat any bacterial infection present. In some cases a nebulizer may be utilized and cough suppressants may used if the cough is not productive (nothing is being coughed up). While some puppies overcome the disease without any assistance in many cases intervention is essential for a full recovery.

Symptoms can include a harsh dry hacking/coughing retching or gagging especially in response to light pressing of the trachea. The presence of a fever varies from case to case. The disease can last anywhere from 10 to 20 days. Diagnosis is made by identifying these symptoms and following through with appropriate treatment.  Also a history of exposure aids in making a diagnosis of kennel cough.
