Cough Hi everyone. I am new to YorkieTalk but not new to raising yorkies. I have loved them all my life and have had yorkies for the past 20 years. I now have a 5 year old yorkie female (Coco) and recently got a 6 month old male. When he arrived (via airplane) he came with a cough / sneeze. It has been a little over a month now and he still seems to have this cough. The vet checked him and he isn't congested and also took xrays to rule out anything with the trachia - all seems good. Has anyone ever had what appears to be Kennel Cough last this long? |
Kennel cough can take awhile to clear up. I've found it a great help to use a steam mist vaporizer with Vick's. If you don't own one of those...taking him into a steamed filled bathroom works well too. A teaspoon of honey soothes an irritated throat as well. |
When I bought my puppy Roxie she also had these issues, my vet prescribed a type of cough suppressant for her so that it would help her body heal on its own, without the interruption of constant coughing. Hope this helps!:aimeeyork |
I don't have any advice but I want to welcome you to YT... |
