Just back from a break at Lake District. She started with a cough Thursday, well more like got something stuck in her throat that wasn't forthcoming. Sounds like a goose honking! We came back as planned today and got a vet appt this pm.
Nice Irish vet Niamh confirmed she has kennel cough and gave her a rectal thermometer to check temp, which was fine, (not impressed). She has no other symptoms, just the honk! Got antibiotics and vet told me to get children's Benylin from Chemist (but not to tell them its for a dog) and give her a teaspoon 3 times a day.
No walks or contact with other dogs for 2 weeks minimum and to contact vet if any changes.
She could have picked it up from many places, the dog walk in the field on our site, the many dog water bowls outside shops, or just by saying hello to dogs we meet.
I've not had a dog with this before, so is all her treatment the norm?
