Vet Q & A
My senior dog has kennel cough, honking, and lethargy. What now?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Pete! Was Pete put on antibiotics when he was seen? Kennel cough is caused by many viral, bacterial or mycoplasma organisms. There is only the ONE vaccine for Bordatella. A lot of dogs sadly get a different bacteria or virus that causes the kennel cough signs. Kennel cough is very goose honkey. Since Pete is lethargic, has a decreased appetite, is pacing at night and is 12 years old he should be rechecked. I would recommend X-rays of his chest. If his heart and lungs look clear then either put him on antibiotics and a cough suppressant if he isn't on anything or change the medications since he isn't improving and is actually getting worse. I worry about older dogs with possible kennel cough. The young and the old have increased risk for kennel cough to progress to pneumonia. I hope this helps and I wish Pete the very best!

My dog has kennel cough, isn't eating. What medicine or food helps?
I would recommend that you have your puppy re-evaluated by a veterinarian. Kennel cough does not usually cause this severe of a depression. It can, however, turn into pneumonia and should be treated very seriously. There are no human OTC cough suppressants that are safe to use in his situation since we don't know exactly what is going on. Warm water with honey and lemon is safe, and may soothe a simple cough.

My dog has kennel cough. Should I give antibiotics, and which ones?
There are many different ones that can be used but these are the most common. * amoxicillin * clavamox * doxycycline Actually, antibiotics are not really needed to treat kennel cough. They are mostly used to prevent secondary infections. ( https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/kennel-cough/ )

Vet Q & A
My dog is sick, has kennel cough, and lost her appetite. What to do?
I would not give Cindy any over the counter medication. I recommend taking her to a veterinarian as soon as you can. With the discharge from her eyes and nostrils she most likely needs antibiotics depending on what else is going on with her. I hope Cindy starts to feel better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
