Thanks Jane, I'm on that ASAP!

Keep an eye on any of that green discharge - eyes or nose. If you see any of that, go immediately to the vet.

Here's a video of what kennel cough sounds like you don't know already. If he has KC, he'll be doing plenty of this. This is just a random youtube video.

My 04 months old boy has the same symptom, without runny nose. VET gave antibiotics for 10 days, then another 10 days but he still sneezing (reverse sneezing!?). Will try to give higher dose of Vitamin C supplement as suggested. Thanks all for helpful info.

Will do. I planned on bringing him directly to the Vet if anything green/yellow started coming out of his eyes/nose. I'm familiar with what KC sounds like, and I don't think he's doing that, he just sound like he's....sniffling. Like he's blowing out to clear his nose. That's the best way I can describe it. Maybe I can catch a video of him doing it to post on here, see what you guys think.


*Edited to add - What part of CT are you in, Paul? I grew up in West Hartford I miss the East Coast, sometimes. It's beautiful back there.

Definitely post a video if you can. A trip to the vet probably wouldn't hurt if it doesn't go away in the next week just as reassurance. That's what I'd do at least.

And I'm as southwest in CT as you get in Greenwich, right on the NY border pretty much. Hartfords about an hour drive from me. I used to drive through Hartford going up 91 all the time up to Springfield, MA. It's beautiful here right on the long island sound as long as it's not winter.

Been trying all morning to catch Koda in the act, this is the best I got out of him:

He sniffles once or twice, then sneezes, but you can hardly hear it over some of the ambient noise.

I did, however, notice that Chip seems to be coughing more, maybe he does have KC and gave it to Koda? I'll keep trying to get a better video of Koda

Koda is sooo cute!
At least it isn't a reverse sneeze. Those are scary for the dog because they can't seem to catch their breath. I don't think there is anything you can do but let it run its course. Get some probiotics, digestive enzymes, C and hope you nip it quick!
