What do I do about my puppy's cough?

Answer by  NGoodson (3395)

If you have a dog or puppy that has been coughing, they may be ok but if the cough persists for a week or more you should take them to the vet. Even if they just have a cold, it's better to be safe than sorry.

The poor thing. Has she been around other dogs, or in a kennel? Is she up to date on her shots? Moniter her for a day or two more. If she is still coughing your best bet would be to bring her into your local vet. She may have a respitory infection.

A dog's cough can be caused by different health problems. Some serious, and some very benign. A puppy is especially susceptible to viral and bacterial infections. Your best course of action is to make an appointment with your dog's veterinarian as soon as you can. If it is something serious (like a cardiac problem), left untreated, it can become fatal.

Take her to the vet and see if she may have Kennel cough. You could watch and wait and see when she is coughing if she is allergic to something.

First thing I would do is take her to the vet and have her checked for kennel cough. That is the most common reasons that a dog would cough.
