Every morning since Beti started coughing, I get up expecting to hear someone else coughing too. So far, so good. Though Beti is well over it, the incubation period of 2 - 10 (maybe 14) days mean there is still a very good chance that someone else could start at any minute. I hope that getting the garlic and fenugreek into everyone from day one will have helped and as I said in an earlier post, as they had it after the Sieger Show last June maybe there is high immunity here.
"Dorwest Garlic & Fenugreek Tablets, a licensed herbal medicine, can be used to relieve symptoms of coughs, minor infections, and skin conditions in dogs and cats, potentially supporting immune function and helping with kennel cough.
Here's a more detailed look at how garlic and fenugreek may help with kennel cough and other conditions:
How Garlic and Fenugreek May Help:
Garlic:
Garlic is known for its antibiotic, antiseptic, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Fenugreek:
Fenugreek has anti-inflammatory properties.
Combined Action:
The combination of garlic and fenugreek in the tablets may help to relieve symptoms of coughs, catarrh, and other bronchial conditions.
Immune Support:
The tablets can be used to help maintain a strong immune system, which is important for fighting off infections like kennel cough.
Other Uses:
Garlic and Fenugreek Tablets can also be used to relieve symptoms of arthritis and skin conditions "
So, if the temperature is normal, or near normal, and there is no loss of appetite, a course of Garlic & Fenugreek Tablets should be given using the “initial administration” of 2 tablets per 10 kgs body weight daily, to help relieve the symptoms of coughs, catarrh and other bronchial conditions. It doesn't mention to give it as preventative but maybe/hopefully if we do it gets to the virus before it has time to become severe.
