He coughs/honks when it’s hot out and he gets over heated or a long walk or running. He loves the beach but a big run he starts the Honk. It’s sad - he is a pretty calm guy just always was. - so noise or people, rides in the car do not get him honking. I am in the middle of moving between NJ and SC and I travel for work. I have not flown since he was diagnosed - anybody fly with their pup who has CT. Google actually says to sedate him and I will discuss with my vet but looking for real life experience. Please keep it positive am already so upset. Just want him to have a happy life (5yo) |
I would look into giving hydrocodone which generally stops the honking. If he has anxiety or gets overly excited you might want to look into something to keep him calm but if he doesn’t have those issues I wouldn’t sedate him. Be very careful with google there is a lot of bad information out there. He will be flying in the cabin with you right? Anything you get you need to try before hand Incase there is an adverse reaction. My oldest is 12 and has mild CT it’s definitely not a death sentence.
