My rescue dog Layla and my dog santino both have kennel cough.She gave it to him.He has been really poorly so we took em both to the vets he perscribed antibiotics for them £41:o The problem is they were both booked in for her spay him neutered.The vets won't do it now I have to wait 2 weeks:(He is off his food and just wants to be left alone but Layla jumps on him and wants to play [her nose running all over]:gag:I guess he is the same as when men have ''man flu''.Big Thanx to MOONBIRD for the advice.:)

Your very welcome, they will soon perk up with the antibiotics, you might wish they were quiet again then :hihi:

When our dogs had kennel cough we were told to give full strength adult benylin. 1 spoon full 3 times a day. It worked really well.

Oh poor babies, my foster before Layla gave it to my oldest dog Dodger (13 yrs) and he was really poorly with it so you have my sympathies.
Hugs to them both xxxxx

Love and warm snuggles to them both - tell the big guy I am sorry.

I hope his new little angel is sweet enough that he forgives her.
