She said she would be glad to see Bella but also didn't want me wasting time bringing her from vet to vet and getting no response. She said she would recommend to go to an internal medicine specialist if her cough does not go away. My vet wants to put her on a small dosage of zithromax (for humans I guess?) for 5 days. She said it is used for very resistant coughs. She said she did some research and that is the last antibiotic she is going to put her on. I am not sure if I should try this antibiotic...especially since a lot of people say they don't work. I just wish this cough would go away so she can wake up from her naps peacefully. I'll post again if there are any changes!
When I got Tia at 13 wks she had kennel cough. It took a long time to go completely and is horrific to see when she had a coughing fit.Even got it on video to show the vet. My vet recommend human baby cough syrup to ease her throat too and it done the trick.
Anyone reading this ONLY do that on vets recommendation
