Since the time I got him, Crixus has some type of cough. I am not sure if he is trying to clear his throat or an allergic reaction. I do manage to record it and this happens pretty often. I thought this would go away but I guess not. He is 14 weeks old.
Here is the video , please let me know what you think.
I had him for 2 months now. I took him to the vet which she listened to his breathing and she said he was very healthy. but it was just a check up i didn't mention the cough. I walk him with a harness and I don't think it is because of that since he does that even sometimes when he wakes up.
I honestly don't want to take him to a vet just for her to tell me it is nothing. But I guess i am going to have to.
When my puppy had kennel cough it sounded much worse than that, we couldn't wait another hour, the vet prescribed antibiotics and it went within a day. I would suggest that you book him in to the vet in a couple of days time and just cancel if it gets better. He is such a puppy and you wouldn't want it getting any worse. Good idea that you have a video to show in case he does not cough at the vets.
I didn't know what a kennel cough was until you mention it. I looked it up and the symptoms are really matching. I think that what he has.
Do you know any medicine I can buy online or get from stores without going to the vet ?
I found some results on google but not sure .
When does he do it most? I see that he is chewing a bully stick. Does he tend to cough more while eating those? Does he ever cough up foam? Is there something in the environment that could be irritating him: air fresheners, paint, polyurethane?
Has the vet done an xray or an echocardiogram? Heart issues can cause coughing.
I think another vet visit is needed. It is not normal for a puppy to cough for two months.
He is chewing a lot of bully stick. I was thinking maybe he is coughing the hair stuc in the bully stick. he doesn't cough up foam. Vet hasn't done any of those, I am going to take him to vet just for that and see what happens. The thing is he doesnt cough all the time though, twice or three times a day.
