| Coughing and hacking... Hi - new here! My baby Zoey is three months. Recently we've noticed her coughing. It started last week and has gotten slightly worse. She did it about 4 times during the night. (12-6am) I've researched kennel cough and heard videos on youtube. If they start coughing like that is it always considered kennel cough? Is this something to call the vet about or wait it out? She's acting normal otherwise, just a little hacking here and there. |

| I would definitely take her to your vet since she is only three months old. It could very likely be kennel cough. |

| Our puppy does this, we have taken him to multiple vets, they all tel us its nothing to worry about. the say its like a backwards sneeze. we have been told to give him a little benadryl. But with him being that small, i would definatly have her checked out by a vet. Good luck |

| im with the others... if you are really really worried about it then go ahead and take her to the vet.. our Bella went thru the same thing, brought her into the vet, they gave her an antibiotic shot (she had her Bortatella the week before) but it really didnt do much... now she does it maybe once a day... and that was maybe 2 weeks ago... i was more worried with it turning to pneumonia so i just told them to go ahead with the antibiotic shot, but our bella is 1.8 pounds and 3 months... so its scary when they are so small!! |
