Kennel Cough - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

N'Stein had kennel cough at 11 weeks old and we went to the vet to get antibiotic.

At that time I was training him for his number 1 and number 2 and I was using very strong cleaning products so those things didn't help him with is cough. I changed the strong stuff for vinegar. and that had reduced is coughing and he was able to get better faster.

The ER vet told me our pups could be together since they both had it and on meds. but our reg vet said keep them apart. So we are trying to keep them apart. Not an easy thing to do.

My Yorkie is now 8 months old and has been coughing since she was 3 months old. After being on zithromax several times the cough would come and go. Went and got a second opinion 3 weeks ago. After a chest x ray was done they found a partially collapsed trachea and signs of pneumonia that was never fully treated because the first vet never wanted to give a chest x ray. Can anyone believe that? I was told she needs to be on baytril for at least 3 weeks. This is the second week on baytril and the coughing is now in a controlled state. Only when she wakes up she coughs. Which I am told is common when there is fluid in the lungs. Does anyone have any experience with the drug baytril? Coughing for 5 months of your life cannot be confortable. I don't wish this on anybody's pet. I feel so bad for her. Say a prayer. Thank You.
