As a lot of you know, Beckham was very sick when he was about 4 months old. He had had kennel cough when we first got him, and teh vet didn't put him on antibiotics long enough. He then got pneumonia and it was quite serious. He recovered and is happy and healthy usually.
Since then, we had one very light coughing spell about 3 months ago. They just gave us another dose of antibiotics, and it cleared up right away.
Well, over the past few days, it's back a little. He had been sneezing last week, and now when he gets very excited he coughs pretty loudly. I gave him some water and Frosty Paw, and the coughing ceased. What gives?
It also seems to happen during changes in weather, and it has recently dropped in temperature a considerable amount.
We are eventually wanting to have his chest/throat x-rayed, to see what is going on, if anything. Otherwise, we do NOT want to keep putting him on meds. Does anyone have any recommendations or thoughts as to what might be causing this?
Thanks in advance!
