Hi all..introducing myself & question! (kennel cough)

This is Donna from North TX. I have 4 personal dogs and also foster for rescue. Came across this site looking for info on kennel cough in a pregnant dog. Of course living in a very small town our vet is out of town until tonight! I have several drugs on hand but know you can't give a pregnant dog just anything. If anyone has a suggestion until my vet gets back I would love to hear if you have ever treated one and what was safe.

Sorry - can;t help with your problem - hope it gets sorted

Hi Dona and welcome to Dogsey .
If your bitch is in whelp I wouldn't give her any medication unless advised to do so by a vet.

There are a number of upper respiratory tract infections which go under the term 'kennel cough' and they are rarely serious in healthy adult dogs, so I would wait until you can get to see a vet before doing anything.

If your bitch is coughing a lot you can give her a little honey melted in warm water, it will moisten and help to sooth her throat and it is safe to give. I would also try to keep her away from the the dogs if you can though I guess they may already be infected.

Hi, Welcome to Dogsey........think Mini has given you the best advice.

Thank you! She is current on bordatella and not coughing much at all, but has sneezed a few times today. I did give her honey last night. Will get her to the vet in the morning for sure. She is due in 2 weeks. Thanks again for responding, I appreciate it.
