<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> Hello Ann,</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab> The bad news is most kennel cough viruses and the canine influenza have a 14 day incubation period. So, no, she would not be showing signs earlier after a day spent at the vet's. Canine influenza has all the same symptoms as human influenza--fever, chills, body aches, extreme lethargy, runny nose, cough, and sometimes <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-0><SPAN>vomiting</SPAN></SPAN> and diarrhea as well. Her white cell count will be high and it takes a good two weeks for her to recover. She is <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-1><SPAN>contagious</SPAN></SPAN> so do not expose her to other dogs outside your home and her immune system may be compromised so keep her at home until she is completely well.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab> She will survive this but it is just like you having the 'flu. It is slow going. Lose of appetite is also normal. I am more apt to think she has the 'flu rather then a reaction to her <SPAN id=misspell-2 class=mark>meds</SPAN> but please call your vet's office on Monday AM and tell them what is going on. They may decide she needs a blood panel run.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab> I had a Saint girl and a <SPAN id=misspell-3 class=mark>Newf</SPAN> girl in an emergency vet clinic after a fire at my house. They were suffering from smoke inhalation but NOT burned thank God. Both girls made a full recovery but they came home with the canine influenza and 14 days later everyone here had it. All survived BUT no two had the same symptoms--some had extreme lethargy and lack of appetite--some just had a <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-4><SPAN>boogie</SPAN></SPAN> nose and runny eyes--some had a cough and no other symptoms. Fortunately, none got diarrhea or <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-5><SPAN>vomiting<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR></SPAN></SPAN> or life threatening post 'flu infections BUT I had two going in for surgery and they both had really high
white cell counts. My vet was the one who figured out they had been exposed to the 'flu and both dogs' surgeries had to be put off for two weeks until they fully recovered from the 'flu.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab> As for the bladder issues, if your girl gets no relief ASAP get a copy of all her medical records and tests run and get a second opinion. They have veterinary urologists.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
