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.
So, about two weeks ago, Brogan was at the vets getting neutered. Exactly a week later, he is coughing and just not enjoying himself. The next day, after I called my vet and got some meds for him, my lab is coughing up a storm, and now has meds as well.
I just feel so terrible for them. Yes, they are up to date on ALL vaccinations-including bordatella. Unfortunately, the bordatella vaccine is like getting a flu shot-it doesn’t COMPLETELY prevent the dog from getting the tracheobronchitis virus. Blahh.
Brogan’s doing better, but Jake is still hacking up a storm =[ He started his meds later, so I’m hoping in a day or two he’ll be doing alright.
Has anyone else had a dog that suffered a bout of kennel cough? It’s just no fun, I feel so miserable for my boys. The medicine makers need to come up with something that actually WORKS (impossible though, considering all the different ‘strands’ of it).
Hope you guys are all doing well.
I know they’ll be fine, I just feel so bad for them. I suspected they would both get it soon enough-in fact I was surprised that Jake hasn’t ever gotten it in the almost-7-social-years of his life.
It just tears me to bits to hear him cough the way he is! Poor thing. Thanks for the shower advice as well-Brogan especially loves laying in the bathroom while I take a shower (though I don’t usually allow it), so I’ll make sure to let them enjoy the next few nights in there with me, haha.
No it wasn’t at a low-cost clinic or shelter clinic-it was at a regular vet’s office-which is a fairly new, high-tech facility.
However, it’s not guaranteed that’s where he got it from. I take both of them nearly everywhere with me, not to mention I work at a dog daycare. I don’t take them with me very often (maybe once a week), but just a day’s exposure or even carrying the virus on myself could have given it to them.

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 five month old puppy that despite being vaccinated showed some signs of kennel cough. When I took him to the vet he was prescribed sulfadi/ormetop, but he has been on it a week and his cough has gotten worse. I couldn’t find anything on what type of medicine it was so I thought I’d ask.
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?
