They each got 14 days of Clavamox, twice a day and they slowly improved and I think by the time they were on their last doses of meds, they had for the most part, quit the coughing, honking...whatever it was.

I also remember a couple of years ago that Maddie started honking. It was a much more forceful honking and she turned out to have tonsillitis. The vet said she was doing the honking trying to clear her throat, which was swollen and infected. I think she was on clavamox that time too and recovered quickly.

Get well wishes to Mia! If you take her to the vet, be sure they look at her throat...and her temp!
I would have to agree as well. Bogey was also doing the exact same thing. I took him to the vet, he was put on an antibiotic and antihistamine for 10 days for an upper respiratory infections. He was better for 2 or 3 days and it started to come back. I called and they put him back on the antihistamine for allergies. He is sounding a little better but I am to "adjust" the meds until it goes away and then giving maintenance doses.

I hope your little one is feeling better soon.
