| Kennel cough? Reverse sneezing? Ok I watched both videos and I can't tell. My puppy started coughing and sneezing Monday (she was at the vet on Sunday) and today it's worse. I called the vet earlier but NY got a blizzard today and I didn't want to take her out unless I really had to. She is still running around playing and eating no problem so they told me it could wait til tomorrow but I'm worried. She just woke up gagging a little then started running and I realized she peed in her sleep. Any ideas??? I'm getting her to the vet as soon as they open in the morning. |

| Yes, and her cough doesn't sound like either of those. When she woke up coughing her mouth was wet (she was next to me so I noticed right away). After she's done coughing she pants. |

| I agree with Dwerten- kennel cough can turn into pneumonia- but i'd be surprised if it happend that fast. did she get the kennel cough vaccine? She could develop kennel cough FROM the vaccine. I would say it is not reverse sneezing as that tends to be a "dry" noise. Layla had kennel cough- what an awful awful sound- i found that a warm air humidifier helped- if you don't have one- turning on a hot shower and holding her int he bathroom is helpful. The peeing in her sleep - she is a puppy you said- so it probably isn't related- just an accident. |

| She was at the vet 3 days ago and he said her heart sounded good so I don't think she has a heart murmur but can't be positive. She had a kennel cough vaccine 4 weeks ago. I'm starting to think maybe an upper respitory infection? I don't know how quick that would happen but I'm noticing she has a runny nose. I'm just hoping she's not worse by tomorrow. |

| Yeah the bordatella vaccine does not cover all strains so why i do not do it and if they get sick just treat the kennel cough with antibiotics so it does not lead to pneumonia |

| Well we are back from the vet and he said looks like the beginings of Kennel Cough and an upper respitory infection. He said luckily so far the congestion is only in her throat it hasn't reached her chest. He gave her a shot of antibiotic and sent her home with some and said to give her Robitussin for her cough. He told me to give her some maple syrup,honey or molasses until she starts eating again. I feel so bad her breathing still sounds a little raspy, but he said to just keep an eye on her and call him tomorrow with an update, unless of course she appears to be getting worse then come right back. Thanks again for everyones help. |

| How soon before she is back to normal energy wise? She has just slept the whole day, she hasn't eaten anything so I have been giving her the maple syrup like the vet suggested. I know I'll be calling the vets office in little while, I want to check in with them before they close. I am honestly not sure which antibiotic he gave her in the shot, I know he sent her home with Septra. |
