I took my golden retriever to the vet today and he has kennel cough. Are there any decent (safe) home remedies for kennel cough besides cough medicine for this? I feel weird about giving my dog human cough medicine.
Human cough medicine is OUT. Don’t ever give your dog ANY human meds unless specifically recommended by your vet.
I adopted a shepherd mix puppy from the humane society over the weekend and he has developed what I believe to be kennel cough. He is 4 months old and weighs 20 pounds. He has an appointment at the vet on Thursday to be checked out. He had his bordetella vaccine just a few days ago. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do for him at home to ease his coughing? My parents dog had it a few years back and there vet told them they could give her childrens cough medicine but my mom couldn’t remember the ratio of pounds to medicine. If anyone could help me that would be great. He seems to be doing okay now still eating drinking and playing. I just don’t want him to get worse.
I have a boxer who is 14 wks. old. He developed kennel cough from a dog next door about 4 wks. ago. I have taken him to the vet and he put him on antibiotics and cough medicine. He has finished the medicine but he continues to cough and he coughs up foamy mucous. Is it normal for kennel cough to last this long? Are there any home remedies that can help it?
