Özet

In this study, 55 dogs from different kennels showing clinical signs of kennel cough syndrome in the province of Ankara were used. The most prominent and obvious clinical sign of the animals was a persistent dry hacking cough or an intermittent cough elicited by palpation. They revealed neutrophilia (16-18 × 106/ml) with a left shift and lymphopenia (0.2-04×106/ml). All of the pharyngeal swabs and transtracheal aspirates yielded positive results in bacterial culture. Pasteurella spp., coagulase positive Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia and Streptococcus spp. were isolated.
