    Hope this video isn't TMI, haha, but here's Dublin this morning. She's done it off and on throughout the day. I think it's kennel cough. what do you guys think? the rescue we adopted her from said we get a free vet visit so we are bringing her to the vet tomorrow.

    I couldn't see the video. Sounds like the vet visit is needed. When Chepi was supposed to have had kennel cough I left her in the car and told reception then waited outside with her to keep her away from other dogs. Poor thing, good luck!

    Can see it now. She doesn't look well and will probably have a sore throat too. Have you seen the vet yet? Hers is much worse than the one cough Chepi produced for the vet. There were some helpful suggestions for me (apart from the antibiotics from the vet) and one of them was allowing the dog to lick a spoon just coated in honey. I also tried Chepi on ice cubes. The vet might also give her pain killers. Keep an eye on her after you have seen the vet and call them straight away if she gets much worse. Then you have several weeks of still being contagious IF it's kennel cough, it might not be. Please come back and give us an update.

    She has an appt late this afternoon. i gave her some honey, she didnt even lift her head to eat it :(, but she did eat it. She does jump up when the outside door is opened though :) i gave her an ice cube too. she loved both. poor baby. wish the visit was earlier in the day.
