I then tried homeopathic remedies which seemed to alleviate her symptoms but did not eliminate her cough. My vet was very hesitant in prescribing more antibiotics.
I came across this website (Robert McDowell- Herbal Treatment) and ordered the Kennel Cough mixture: `Kennel Cough Herbal Treatment - Robert McDowell's Herbal Treatments. Human, Canine and Equine. Cancer Support, Radiotherapy Support, Articles and Online Consultation.
After administering the herbal treatment for 2 weeks, she began to recover. After the 3rd week, no more coughing. I know it was probably a bit extreme (ordering from Australia) but I had pretty much tried everything and nothing worked.
I hope your furbaby feels better! |
I'm thinking of trying that remedy, thank you for posting! I had actually purchased a homeopathic remedy (for $60!!!) that doesn't seem to have worked at all. But, this herbal remedy seems like a good alternative. I think I'll give him a few more days, he really is getting better, just not fully recovered. Three months so far!
