My pomeranian just had allergic rhinitis tht looked suspiciously like kennel cough. He is just now passed the coughing fits and only occasionally will he do a small hack.
Sarge (my pom) ran a temp, 104.3, had an ear infection that was draining into his throat, so they gave him an antibiotic for that. They gave him a shot of benadryl and put him on a liquid antibiotic to take care of the cough. It took us a good 3 weeks to get him over the coughing. His eyes were weepy from his eyes running so much. We were told to feed him wet food until his cough subsided as the dry food, and any dust from the food, would exacerbate his cough. We took his collar off to allow him some wiggle room around the throat area. It sounded like kennel cough, he hacked and acted like he wanted to bring up mucus like kennel cough, but the doc swore it wasn't kennel cough with a thorough exam. Since he is low to the ground, and can get into any number of things, and this is the season for stuff to start growing and coming out, he had something affect him.
I hope your little one is ok...please keep us posted.
