trachea info
Herbs to help with coughing include mullein (Verbascum thapsus), elecampane (Inula helenium) and marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) but I would also suggest that you consult with a qualified professional in your area who has exerience with both animals and herbs to set up a programme that deals specifically with your animal's condition. Such a person may be found through the Veterinary Botanical Medicine Association (
VBMA - Home)
Dr. Richard Pitcairn has some ideas in his book also...
seems calcium is good for strengthening and there are other remedies..like unpasturized honey for the cough to sooth the throat ..also to massage or rub the neck, throat area lightly, slightly elevating the head ..also try to keep the saliva down in the mouth with more fluids or fruit.. watermelon is good for that and they love that...then, also try not to use strong cleaning agents in the home like lemon waxes and air sprays as they aggravate it ..also chemicals for cleaning and in the yards...there are also massages to relax the little one..to massage right behind the pads of the paws ..they are in heaven then and of course no collar on the neck...
just a few suggestions..i have read about and also used when our little Oliver has a coughing session...we were told he had it but i am not sure if he has that or reverse sneezing..but as he is getting older it is better
