As her cough got worse, she too could not bark without coughing. In fact, she couldn't really do that litte whine/wimper she does, it was very faint. Vet said it was affecting her voice because her throat was really sore, like a person gets.
We started wetting down her dry food so it did not aggravate her sore throat. We also started giving her water at room temp. We didn't give her milkbones or anything like that that could aggravate/scratch her sore throat. He also said to keep her quiet and not let her vocalize much or run around much which would make her pant. Those measures, plus Clavamox w the addition of Tussagon, finally started working on that terrible cough. The antibiotic w Delsym did absolutely nothing, in fact she got worse.
Hope this helps you. |
