She is 2.5 years old and my parents' dogs have been taking doxycycline and had prednisone for 3 days and they are no longer coughing. Their anti-biotics are finished tomorrow and they are completely back to normal, still have to wait a week before they are allowed around other dogs though.
I guess it makes sense for us to wait since we know what it probably is and the office has to keep the other animals safe as well. I just don't like how after 10 days it went from dry cough to congested. She never snores, but lately you can hear her across the room most of the night...my husband calls her a baby bulldog right now. She doesn't cough as much as other dogs I have heard with kennel cough but you can hear it in her chest.
I hate that I haven't been with her this week though, but tonight when she sees me and gets excited I should be able to record the noise she is making to make it easier for the vet. |
