It’s been over 3 weeks. The vet said she had kennel cough at our last appointment. (After many many visits where we thought it could be allergies, or just a cold). She’s still sick! Now it’s turned into a hacking cough with vomiting but no vomit. He didn’t believe us when I said she was extremely lethargic because she got excited briefly at the vet because her favorite vet tech was there. Our regular vet is unfortunately out of town.
She’s 6 months. Fully vaccinated. She has what seemed to be a cold for the first few weeks. No coughing for the first 2.5 weeks.. and five days ago, she started coughing until she would gag. They gave us cough medicine and said to continue with the antibiotic. But they said wait it out.
And today, she didn’t want to drink water. At all. I’m buying chicken broth right now and she’s eating ice cubes at least!
What should I do? ? It’s breaking my heart because I know she’s uncomfortable. She was crying for ages and wanted me to fix it but I obviously couldn’t instantly heal her. The substitute vet is so unconcerned but I know my dog and she’s very lethargic.
