I was just watching some show on TV yesterday talking about kennel cough. They were talking how vets really give the antibiotics most of the time for owners sake and not the dogs(NOT ALWAYS JUST USUALLY). They said if it is diagnosed as normal kennel cough and not anything serious that seperation(from other dogs) and letting it run it's course was normal procedure and that the antibiotics were for the owners who couldn't take the coughing . They also talked about using a baby cough syrup for soothing the cough . They said Kennel cough was just a name for a cold like humans get colds . They also talked about antibiotics should only be used for multiple dog households and in cases where diagnosis was for the more extreme cases where it has gotten into the chest such as pnuemonia.
