My 11 year old 4lb. Chi has kennel cough diagnosed by a Vet. They gave her immune support herbs for dogs it came from http://www.eightbranch.com It really didn’t change anything with the kennel cough, but I am trusting it will help her increase her immune system. What I did find helped soothed her throat was 20 Factor Manuka honey. It’s expensive, about 75.00 for a small bottle, but this is cheap compared to a visit to the vet. I bought it off Amazon it’s called All Blacks UMF20 Manuka. Also I put Eucalyptus essential oil in an vaporizer and that seemed to really help her. I put it about 2 ft from her bed and had it going all day while she slept. I noticed a significant decrease in her coughing attacks using this. Due to being in Canada I am able to give her a couple of drops of medical grade CBD oil for over all health benefits. I hope some of these suggestions help your Chi.

My 12 yr old Chihuahua started with a nasty hacking cough 1 1/2 wks ago. In the past 2 days she has stopped eating. Last night I was able to get her to eat some cooked steak I broke up for her to eat. She has no teeth. She has been to the Vet 3 times. On the first visit they gave her hydrocodone and put her on an antibiotic. Her xray did not show anything abnormal.

My chi is 4yrs old and has this kennel cough and i’ve already taken her to the vet and he gave her some an antibiotic and it didn’t clear it. I don’t have
$200.00 to take her all the time. What can i give her?

My little Rusty has kennel cough and he struggles to breathe he’s on Temaril P every 12 hours one in the AM full tablet per vet and hydrocodone bitartrate cough suppressant. He coughs to much Dr took X-ray and found no abnormalities but she said that his lungs look like they are busy.
I’m giving him his medicine like I’m supposed to how long before I see results. Watching him go through this is killing me it just hurts to see my little furry friend suffer. I massage his lungs softly and he enjoys it also massage his chest and it sounds like a chest cold. Any advice on what else I can do to ease his suffering.

My little Chihuahua, Dollie, has developed a cough? It must be
a kennel cough? She’s Not around other dogs. Could it be allergies?
What do I do for her?

What is the differences in kennel cough, reverse sneeze, and trachea collapse? They all sound like my 7 month old chihuahua. he hasnt had it forever and im not sure which one it is because they all sound like what he has. usually when he does this he ends up throwing up phlegm or dog food to. kinda worried but the vet says dont worry…but i know its gotta be more then a reverse sneeze.

This article helped me out out a lot, but should i take her to the vet if it last more than 2 weeks? The thing is she also hasnt been around any other dogs, or even outside unless to potty. could she have gotten it from just being outside?
