neil cooney 10,416 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'd try and rule out an obstruction in the throat before giving a medicine for something he mightn't have. Quote Link to post
Lew 111 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 If its a little splutter it could be lung worm Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Leave well alone mate .if its the cough theres nothing you can do, it just has to take its course like a cough in humans .if its still there in two weeks take to the vet .Self medicating a dog can lead to complications later on if it needs vet attention.Too many piling in drugs they know nothing about . 2 Quote Link to post
TOPPER 1,809 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 if and if your sure its kennel cough give it some benylin [ get from chemists] otherwise leave well alone and see what develops as fd says to many f***ing about with drugs they dont understand Quote Link to post
Irishman 117 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 if you think its kennel cough which it sounds like you give it penicillin trust me i seen it work myself i tryed benylin at the start it didnt work the penicillin had it away in a couple of days Quote Link to post
