Strange because a simple anitboitic probally would have worked... then this vet says its normal for a small dog to cough but its collapsed tracha and that thats just normal for small breeds????? VERY ODD vet!!
Perhaps Munchie 1 had kennel cough too if that is the case it is very very contagious and air borne which is likely how Munchie 2 caught it, but it is my no means a reason to return a dog nor keep them over night  But it is also NOT NORMAL and does require antibiotics.. please find another vet and get Munchie an antibiotic , the cough goes away in time with the perscription... |
yes guys the vet said this was a normal thing for small dogs to have!
