Have you been looking for a treatment for kennel cough that will not involve hundreds of dollars in vet bills? If so, you should be looking at symptomatic treatment at home to help ease your dog’s suffering.
Dogs who have kennel cough will have a dry, hacking cough about 3 to 7 days after they have been exposed to the illness. It sort of sounds like the dog is trying to clear his throat, and can be triggered by any physical exertion.
Some dogs will regrettably cough all day long for what seems like an eternity. In general, there will be no fever or other symptoms such as loss of hunger. The symptoms of kennel cough will usually last about 7 to 21 days.
The coughing noise can be very irritating for both the owner and the dog. It is rare, however, that kennel cough would be life threatening. Most dogs will recover on their own over time, however there are supplements and medications that can help ease the symptoms.
