My puppy has kennel cough. Will a vaporizer help calm her coughing?

I'm sorry Krystal has kennel cough. Have her see a vet, who can prescribe her medications to help with her symptoms. Any dog with kennel cough should be isolated for at least two weeks, possibly longer depending on the severity of the infection. Keep her in a well-humidified area, and use a harness instead of a collar to minimize coughing. Rest her for at least seven days to minimize irritation of the airways caused by excessive coughing. You can bring her into the bathroom with you while you have a shower, as the steam may help with the respiratory irritation. I hope this helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Aurora. I worry that she has an upper respiratory tract infection given her recent boarding stay. If so, she will likely need antibiotics from her veterinarian to resolve the issue. In the meantime, you can place her in the bathroom while you shower. Keep the door closed and allow the steam to build up. Breathing the warm humid air can lessen congestion and help her to breathe easier. I hope this information helps!

It sounds like Hazel has kennel cough. Yes, you should get her to your vet for an exam. It is very common for dogs to catch this at daycare, boarding facilities, grooming parlors, dog parks. Basically anywhere there are lots of dogs together in a restricted space. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=600 Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I would take Kai into a vet first thing in the morning. Tonight, rest him. If he's congested, try bringing him into the bathroom when you take a shower to see if the steam helps. You can also put him in a room with a humidifier. In the morning, the vet can confirm he has kennel cough, and can give medication to help with his symptoms. Raw honey should not be fed to puppies, so I would not give him any. Best of luck.

Oh no, poor Rosie! I would not give her any more Robitussin, as too much is not safe for dogs. Kennel cough is a self limiting disease that last three to four weeks, and while medications can help with the symptoms, they will not completely prevent the symptoms of it. I would have Rosie seen by a vet, who can prescribe medications are safe to give her. There are some things you can do for her at home. Any dog with kennel cough should be isolated for at least two weeks, possibly longer depending on the severity of the infection.

Because Amelia hasn't lost her appetite and is behaving normally, I would not be concerned about pneumonia. If she does lose her appetite and becomes very lethargic, then I would be concerned and I would have her seen by a vet. If she does seem congested, you can put in her in a room with a humidifier, or you can take her into the bathroom with you when you shower. The steam may help temporarily relieve her congestion.

Yes, this description does fit with kennel cough, which is an infection of the upper respiratory tract. It's not uncommon for puppies to get this when in close contact with other dogs and puppies. The best thing to do is take Cali to a veterinarian for an exam. It's not an emergency, but good to schedule an appointment within the next day or two. The vet will be able to help diagnose the cause of the infection and prescribe the appropriate medication. They will also be able to give Cali a good general exam to check for any other issues. I hope that helps and cali gets better soon.
