My husband took Porthos (7 months) to the vet tonight and he has Kennel Cough It is apparently a mild strain but the poor little baby is really feeling poorly. He has had a bit of a raspy cough for a few days BUT, only a few episodes a day and then we noticed he had a runny nose and eyes and was always on the hunt for a cuddle or to be on our laps or in our bed. He is not normally like that - he's Mr Independant... our older boy is Mr Cuddly.
Anyway the older boy (19 months) almost certainly has it as well. Has a runny nose and eyes. The vet gave us an intranasal vaccination for the older boy and gave Porthos some shots. Porthos then came home and threw up a few times and has missed dinner. The vet also gave us Panadeine Forte tablets (500mg paracetomol and 30mg Codeine) and said half to 1 tablet for his cough. They are strong tabs, I was on those when I lived in the UK for my back... 1 tablet would knock me out and I am a lot larger than a 7.5kg dog.
Anyway, both boys are cuddled up under blankets on their bed and look thoroughly miserable.
