Cough

Hey mark, is she still coughing?

If it is kennel cough, then along with the cough, watch for a snotty nose (dried boogs around the nostrils or running boogs) and be VERY careful that your dog doesn't get dehydrated. If you think it's dehydrated at all, or stays off feed more than 2 days, you'd better get her butt to a vet. Kennel cough seems like an annoyance, but will kill dogs graveyard dead if it develops into pneumonia. With regular kennel cough, you can usually knock it dead with tetracycline pills (I give 500mg per day) and 3cc penicillin (im) each day, IF you catch it early. The whole key is catching it early.

A really easy way to check for dehydration is to grab the hide on the dog's back & pull up as far as it'll go & release. If it snaps back, you're fine.... if it stays cinched up and very slowly lowers back down, your dog's most likely dehydrated.

EDIT: Okay, I don't wanna sound like a know-it-all here. If I did, then just ignore the whole post & go about your merry way. I work on the family greyhound farm & we have 300-400 dogs inside kennels at all times & I have to fight enormous battles with kennel cough at least once each year. What I pecked out here in the above paragraphs may not actually work next year. The kennel cough seems to evolve a little each year, and one year a steady dose of Baytril & cephlexin worked.... the year after that it was amoxicillin and baytril, the this past winter it was tetracycline & penicillin, next year who knows. As with anything you read on the internet, take any advice I spout off with a grain of salt.
