Kennel cough is like a human cold so it should not be in the lungs unless it moves on in severity.Be patient...I know how frustrating it all is but it does take a lot of time to cure, the sickness is very persistant.
Good luck and keep us posted. |
I am just confused by it all and since this is my first puppy it is hard for me to understand why it the vet takes a few minutes with you and gives a prescription and thinks that it will work. I can either let the breeder take him to her house for a week and use the nebulizer on him or I can go for a second opinion. However, I bought the puppy for my fiance and I am not sure tha his heart will let him part with him for a week. I think we are going to watch him and try to write down his coughs and how often and how long and see if maybe we can get a second opinion on Monday. The puppy was up at 1:00 and 4:00AM coughing and no he has some small coughs also. Nothing comes out - he had clear saliva once but I haven't seen anything else. He is still eating great and playing hard and everyone says that this is good but his cough is not. I guess it is a waiting game. I hope that everyone who is expierencing this gets well soon..
