Im so sorry your baby has Kennel Cough. I hope she gets to feeling better soon. Im no help here cause mine have never had it . But I have read storys and post on here about it before and sounds like it can some time take months to clear. But im not sure . Im sure someone who knows more about it will come and post some good info for you soon. take care, Hope your baby gets better soon.

Cali has had it since I got her at 9 weeks she is now 6 months and still has a little cough left. my pom also caught it fom her and she still has it. Both have been on antibiotics several times. I just took them back to the vet to chek their lungs and she said they were clear and that sometimes it just takes a long time for the cough to go away completely. I have read other threas where it has taken monbths as well and others clear up ina week or two. Good luck and just watch for other signs of a worsening infection such as lethargy and not eating.

Dayzee came into our home 4 weeks ago (age 4 mos) w/kennel cough. She went to the vet about 30 hours after arriving (and exposing my 15 mo havanese & 9 yo bichon). She was put on cough medicine and amoxycillion. On day 6 of this regiment, she was lethargic and not eating. Rushed her back to the vet and he took a throat culturee. In 24 hours the results were back, she actually had 4 infections--and the medications were changed to include all the viruses/infections titled kennel cough.

Long story short: it took another 10 days and no more coughing, no more fever, good as new.

Make sure the vet does cultures asap, because you want your baby well as quick as possible.

my little Howie had kennel cough when i first brought him home. Vet put him on antibiotics for 10 days but that awful cough didnt stop till recently thankfully, close to 2months later. Was thinking it would never leave but it has.
