Last night she was coughing like crazy and this morning was coughing up big amounts of phlegm. Is this good or bad? My first thought was that its all getting out of system…she is still eating, still plays but is def tired alot.

Just want to make sure the coughing up wasn’t a sign of things getting worse.

Two days ago, she came down with kennel cough. Brought her to the vet and he said to giver her cough medicine. I know he knows what he’s doing, but I’m not comfortable with the answer.

He gave me some Amoxicillin liquid and told me to have him rest and sleep as much as possible.

Is there anything I can do to help him beat this quicker and get better?

Personal experience anyone?
Thanks for pointing out the obvious torbaynewfs. I’m looking for someone who may have had some personal experience with this and might have some knowledge about this virus.
torbaynewfs – I have actually never delt with Kennel Cough the whole time I have owned dogs (23 years). I’ve heard it is very common, but I have personally never dealt with it (luckily), until now. I just wanted some feedback as to how others dealt with it. Of course I’m going to listen to the doctor (that’s why I went there!) and give him his medication but I wanted to hear personal experience from other dog/puppy owners. I don’t plan on giving him any other medication then what the doctor has prescribed, but maybe other people have a few tricks or tips on how to make the virus go away sooner or at least how to make my puppy as comfortable as he can be until he can beat this thing.

You don’t need to be rude. I’m only trying to do what’s best for my puppy so he doesn’t get something worse or deadly like pneumonia or parvo. Sheesh.

Just wondering if they can pick up kennel cough even if they have had all the immunizations? Just noticed it today, and…….yes I will be calling the vet 1st thing in the morning.

Usually happens when she first gets up in the morning. Which causes her to vomit. Same thing happened today, only now she sounds like she can’t breathe. A constant wheezing sound. From what I researched online it sounds like kennel cough. :/

If she comes home to our dogs, is it possible she can spread the virus by getting it on her clothes from the infected dogs?

We are both suffering from a dry cough, chest congestion and my son is now weezing. I don’t think we’ve contracted kennel cough but perhaps we came in contact with the virus that subsequently triggered a reaction within us??
