He still has a bad cough that is getting worse, sneezing, hard time breathing and honking.
I'm so reluctant to put him on more antibiotics and was hoping this would start to pass but after 3 months it seems to be getting worse.
Any ideas? Has anything worked for you to cure a bad cough from the Bordetella shot? Will this get better on its own?
Any advice is appreciated! |
Teddy had a cough from the bordatella vaccine for about a month and a half. The first antibiotic did not work for him, but he is now on his second and he has not coughed in the past couple of days. The coughing might have subsided on its own or may be as a result of the second round of (different) antibiotics. Either way, you need to go back to the vet because if its a bacterial infection it needs to be treated so it doesn't escalate to pneumonia. I know others will have better advice here than I can give but either way I think everyone will universally tell you that you should go to the vet again.
