Title: Dog is coughing...any ideas?
Post by: Justified on November 27, 2013, 12:24:24 pm
Well I spent the cold weekend up in mason hunting and now my mac dog has a cough. He will bark then cough. I know it's not heart worms. Any ideas? He is eating normal, and still acts normal other then the cough. Any ideas/input woul be greatly appreciated.

Probably just the sniffles. Give him a round of antibiotics.

If it IS kennel cough... anti's would be all you could do anyway

I'd bet it's kennel cough, seen it many times!

If your dog was around any turkey or chicken poop they can get a infection in there lungs easy to beat with antibiotic will seem just like kennel cough but kennel cough would b my first guess

It's seems to be significantly better. But there is still a slight cough occasionally. I will keep up antibiotics. Seems to be the only treatment for whatever it is. There are a lot of turkeys on the place, I have cedar shaving in his house. I changed it out this morning and sprayed everything with stall cleaner(bleach and water) I've never felt with kennel cough before.

Some dogs have been known to have a sensitivity to cedar chips/dust, and even pine. That could be a possibility as well.
