My boyfriend is trying to ditch the rest of his classes so he can come see what is going on...

Or maybe she could have choked on something?

Not to be a pest, but this is the first time for her to act like this? If yes, then this is an acute situation, not chronic as CT, kennel cough, would be. Allergic reaction, maybe.

Does she get chews like Bully sticks, rawhides, or does she chew pieces out of her toys?

I'm only asking bc many daytime vets are not the best diagnostitians when it comes to emergency/acute situations. In my old, unprofessional opinion, I would be insisting that she at least gets an xray to check for a foreign body....

She was in her crate while I was at work. I came home and let her out, and she came and sat by my feet, then this started. She's never made a noise remotely close to this one, and she doesn't get chews or toys that she can bite pieces off of. She only plays with a skineez and a squeaky ball and I checked those, they're intact. Dr. thinks it's kennel cough. They want to see her again tomorrow and prescribe her antibiotics.

I hope Luma is ok. Keeping her in my prayers.

Wow! I've never seen or heard of Kennel Cough coming on like that! That's scary! Great that they want to check her again tomorrow... very important to be sure they're on the right track with this.... Good Mommy for thinking to check her toys and stuff....

And my apologies... When I saw your post I flipped... I was so scared for you and Luma! Thank God you got home when you did! Keeping you both in my prayers....

Quick onset for kennel cough....has she just received her vaccinations...the one for kennel cough they put in her nose?

Sending my prayers and good vibes as well. Glad she is at the vet and in good hands. Great job kjc for being on watch and giving good advice. Also, thanks to Carmen for staying in touch!

We must have posted at the same time. I'm so sorry. It's a good thing you got to the vet. Kennel cough can easily turn into pneumonia if not treated. Did they not give her a shot of antibiotics or any to take home? I wonder why that would be?
