Hi All,
Bella has kennel cough and I have no idea how she got it... GRRR.
Anyway...she went to the vet today but I did not go (my mother took her) so I have one question I didnt get to ask, so maybe someone here can answer.
How long will the cough last? I feel so bad for her... She was given some cough medicine and Clavamox.
Also, the doctor said she was pretty certain it was kennel cough... she did an XRAY to ensure her trachea was fine but the only way to be CERTAIN of kennel cough is to sedate the dog and put something down their throat which my mom didnt want to do because she didnt want her to have any unnecessary procedure especially one where she needed to be sedated... so is there anything else that could produce this cough that should have been looked for?
Thanks.
Elissa
