My puppy who is now 13 weeks old is still coughing after 5 weeks. the vet gave another course of antibiotics which finish tonight. The cough is always worse when he wakes up. I have now asked vets to do more investigations as i am now not convinced its Kennel cough. I have taken 3 days stool samples to take to vet tonight for lungworm testing to be done. I think they may also take him in to do some xrays of his throat. I just cant imagine him without this cough now.

Has anybody experienced this in their pup/dog. I cant find anymore info on this?

thank you

maybe this link will be of help...

panacur 10% given over 7 days treats lungworm, but because hes had it for quite a while i think youre doing the right thing takng him to the vet.

I have experienced coughing in a dog and it was the heart, but not in a dog that young, best take him back to the vets to make sure.

Thanks for the replies, Benson is now booked in to have xrays and blood tests on tuesday, lets hope they find out finally whats wrong with him. Will keep you posted on his progress, it may be of help to of users to the site in the future.
