I read a few others on here about kennel cough but nothing covers this...
I picked Hayden up from the shelter monday and she's had a cough that keeps getting more frequent. Then it finally dawned on me she probably has kennel cough! duh.. She doesn't seem effected physicly by it, she just wakes me up at night coughing.
I love my vet but he's a bit pricey and the first time you bring your pet there he adds a first exam charge. Well I started a new job and they messed up the paperwork and I didnt get paid....yay...
So I called my vet and told them I just picked her up from the shelter monday and I think she has kennel cough. Asked if I can do payments or not pay the fee right now.
She said no they can't do that but I should just try giving her childrens robetussin and give her the childs dose every 6-8 hours.
I went and got some along with a new bed and some toys (she LOVES plush toys but man that one only lasted an hour....)
So uhh it tastes like fruit punch supposably but yea she was TOTALY not liking it! lol Not sure how i'll do it again...
She did stop coughing! Well until we went on a walk and she wanted to go after a bird and pulled on the leash.
The woman at the vet said if it doesn't stop after about a week to give her a call back. :crossfing
Hayden has an apointment to be spayed tues. I hope she's doing better by then...
Anyone else tried tussin? I'll let you all know how it works out. It seems to work better on her than it has ever worked for me. lol and she even spit out some of it.
