Sigh. We are dealing with kennel cough in our newly rescued Beagle. We took her to the emergency vet over the weekend and got her started on twice a day antibiotics and four times a day cough medicine. She isn't coughing as frequently or coughing up flem as frequently or as much at one time so I think the medicines are helping. Still it's a rough patch with her. I end up holding her like a baby for hours on end and she's heavy, about 25 lbs so it's not easy. I let her sleep in the bed with me but then she coughed up white flem onto the sheets so I need to clean those. I read online that kennel cough can last a while. I'm hoping we only have a few more days of this but I don't know. We are leaving on vacation tomorrow and leaving our fur babies in the very capable hands of a friend but I just feel bad that she is sick. Poor Zoey.
