Tuesday, February 22, 2005. Anders is a fairly common scandinavian name which means man or manly. In German, it is an adverb meaning otherwise or differently. Its usually a first name, but I have met people with Anders as a last name. I pronounce Anders as On-ders but as a last name, it is usually Ann-ders.
What is a barking cough? A barking cough is a dry, harsh cough that resembles the sound of a barking seal. This type of cough is most often associated with croup (laryngotracheitis). Croup is usually caused by viruses. Bacterial infection may occur secondarily.
This annoying cough is most commonly caused by highly contagious bacteria; in other cases, the cause can be viral. Dogs in highly populated situations such as boarding facilities, doggy day care, and dog parks are most likely to get kennel cough, which can be transmitted by air or by contact with infected surfaces.
