Are you making any of the classic pet treatment mistakes which will cause you to improperly treat kennel cough? I hate to admit it but I have made most if not all of them myself. Find out what they are and how to avoid them by visiting http://www.catanddogcures.com right now before you do any serious harm to your pet. They are a member of the family also.
Are you looking for a remedy from the vet or are you looking for home remedies to treat kennel cough? You are smart enough to know that every time you get a cold you do not run to the doctor. This is because you sometimes treat it at home until your condition gets more severe and other complications set in – then you see the doctor. Your dog can’t speak so you need to learn the difference in the symptoms.
Just imagine what it would be like if you finally save a few bucks and not have to run to the vet every time your pet gets a cold. That’s right – kennel cough is like a cold. In humans it’s an upper respiratory infection and in pets it is kennel cough.
You will want to treat it though as kennel cough can be transmitted to humans.
SYMPTOMS OF KENNEL COUGH ARE:
- Dry harsh cough
- Gagging and/or vomiting
- Loss of appetite
MORE SEVERE SYMPTOMS ARE:
- Nasal discharge
- Fever
- Cough that produces phlegm
- Depression
- Green mucus
If your dog or cat has developed coughing with green mucus then take it to your vet right away. Most vets treat kennel cough with antibiotics.
If, however, your pet has the milder symptoms you can try several home remedies to see if it relieves the condition. Most milder cases resolve themselves in 2-3 weeks. Here are a few to consider or ask your vet about.
HOME REMEDIES:
- Pediatric robitussen is being used for puppies to help soothe throat tissues that have become sore due to the inflammation of the throat that occurs from the infection. Just like we would do for our children cough syrups are being used on pets.
- Certain herbal remedies are also being used to expel mucus. One is plantango lanceolata .
- Another herbal remedy being used to clear mucus is Bryonia C6 which is also reported to be able to soothe sore throat tissues.
- For small puppies many people also use honey to soothe irritated throats. The honey can be mixed in the pet’s water bowl. Most report using this first before the cough syrups.
- Run a humidifier to help keep the air moist or boil a pan of water to add moisture.
- Give your pet a vitamin supplement to boost their immune system and practice good nutrition.
- Some people are reporting using Vitamin C but be cautious here as too much has been known to cause irritable bowel syndrome.
- Loosen collars – your pet’s throat is sore and irritated.
