Answer 1

COUGHFree Cough Syrup by Heel, Inc. can be purchased through 1-800-Petmeds for about $15. However, most cases of kennel cough are mild and will resolve in about 10 days. Older dogs, pups or those recovering from an illness or surgery should be taken to a vet if kennel cough develops as it can progress to a more serious condition.

Answer 2

Contact your vet.

A dog with a cough can have some serious problems going on, so you should see the vet, especially if the dog is around other animals that might catch something like distemper or "Kennel cough" (Bordetella), that are highly contagious infections that cause coughing.

Other things that can cause coughs in dogs are heart or respiratory diseases, heart worms, etc. and these can be fatal if untreated. Don't assume it is just a cold like when humans cough, it may be something that needs real treatment or isolation from other animals.

Answer 3

You dog could have kennel cough if in a kennel dogs usually do not cough, when they do it could be heart trouble, trouble with the larynx, or something in their throat To be on safe side go to the vet, any med's you give without vet's knowledge can harm the pet especially if its heart trouble, so you see you cannot do any med's.
