cough
That's what I was thinking, allergies. Never had before I moved down here.
may have kennel cough
I think kennel cough does eventually resolve but can be treated without much of expense - ask a vet.
I'm sure it's kennel cough (sm)
We adopted a dog from the local SPCA and he had it - they told us it spreads like wildfire among dogs who are confined. They would have let us bring him there to be treated, but it was too far, so we just took him to our vet. I don't know about a rescue group, but it seems to be that they should be responsible for it. If they refuse, maybe a local vet will let you pay it off, but it must be treated. It is otherwise known as Bordatella. Good luck. It is an awful-sounding cough, I know.
Could be kennel cough, heartworms.
He really should not go in for surgery until the reason for the cough is found and cleared up. If kennel cough, he will need antibiotics. If heartworms he would need a treatment that is a couple of hundred or so.
Any one ever deal with kennel cough in their dog? nm
We got a beautiful baby basset hound about three weeks ago. We took her because she was the last of 13 in her litter and had given up to die. She had quit eating and drinking at the pet store. When we went to see her she just lit up with my daughter and actually ate some food while we were there. We brought her home because we couldnt bear thinking of her dying. We took her to the vet and she had failure to thrive, worms, and kennel cough. We have had her on two rounds of antibiotics, diazepam, worm medication, Pepcid, and Torbitrol. We had her to the emergency vet last weekend and she spent the night in ICU because of respiratory distress. I just took her back to our vet again today because she was up all night coughing and crying. She vomited 5 times this morning and has refused food since yesterday. The vet said she now has full blown pneumonia and the kennel cough has been a resistant type so we are now trying another antibiotic and more Torbitrol for the coughing. This poor baby has been through it. I am so glad we took her as the vet said she would have definitely died by now.
I was just wondering if anyone has dealt with kennel cough before? Thanks for any insite to this problem. She is such a sweet little dog. She just breaks my heart when I see her coughing and struggling for air.
My mother was just prescribed a cough
medicine that is $82 and the insurance will not pay as it is not on their formulary. Many are like this. Normally the pharmacy will let you know and if there is an equivalent they will call your doctor and see about getting it changed to something the insurance covers.
where I live at, the whooping cough sm
is going around! Hubby works for the medical center and they are advising EVERYONE to have a whooping cough booster! Unbelievable.
The ingredient in cough syrup? What's it gonna do

This annoying little cough I have from allergies or cold
Can't tell which it is. But it has hung on for a long time, and today really driving me nuts. Glad no one is home, they'd think this is the "house of tuberculosis!" My own cough is today's pet peeve!
How bout Drs. Cox and Grant? Sounds like a cough syrup.

Have had a cough for a week - woke up last night w severe arm pain, all the way down
I have been coughing and kind of achy, yesterday hurt all over, no fever, but in the middle of the night last night, woke up with horrible pain, to the point of making me cry all the way from my shoulder to the joints in my hands. Both shoulder joints are sore, but the right arm hurts all the way down. I have taken Advil, used muscle rub and am working with my arm propped on a pillow. Anyone ever had this happen? Wondering if it is just muscle pain from being sick or if I got something out of whack in my cervical spine from all the coughing!! This stinks!!!
whisper whisper whisper COUGH! COUGH!
Ow
Pity Party going on here. Head cold, stuffed up ears, cough, whaa! whaa ! whaa!
I have been working 7 hours so far today and have managed to type about 700 lines. Spending more time with hands reaching for kleenex and/or sanitizer. I HATE a cold.
Okay, nuff said I will shut up and suffer in silence.
Have a good one.
