What should I do if my Finnish Lapphund coughs? There are generally two possibilities for dog coughs, one is canine infectious tracheobronchitis and the other is chronic bronchitis. Here are the causes and treatments for these two types of cough in dogs.

1. Canine infectious tracheobronchitis When summer and autumn change, the temperature changes greatly, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

At this time, dogs are particularly susceptible to many canine infectious diseases, among which kennel cough also enters a high-incidence period. Kennel cough, also known as canine infectious tracheobronchitis, is a canine infectious respiratory disease caused by a variety of pathogens and can affect dogs of any age.

As long as one dog has this symptom, other dogs that come into contact with it will also have this symptom immediately. The course of the disease is more than a week, and in a few cases it can last for several months.

Most dogs can gradually recover as their body’s resistance improves, but a few dogs will develop bronchopneumonia due to lack of timely treatment. In the early stages of the disease, the dog's symptoms include a dry cough, followed by occasional vomiting or nausea, but the dog's spirit and appetite are normal, and generally there is no fever and no symptoms such as nasal discharge. Within a few days, his symptoms included painful cough, elevated body temperature, loss of appetite, and purulent nasal discharge. The treatment of kennel cough requires treating both the symptoms and the symptoms.

On the one hand, symptoms such as coughs must be controlled, and on the other hand, pathogens must be killed.

It should be noted that because kennel cough is often induced by a variety of pathogenic bacteria, it is difficult for general drugs to reach this site, and most antibiotics cannot have an immediate therapeutic effect.

Some dog owners use large doses of antibiotics for this reason. However, this approach is very unscientific. High doses of antibiotics for a long time will destroy the immune barrier of the dog's body and create opportunities for virus invasion. In the early stage, if this situation is found, the dog can be fed some antiviral oral liquid, such as Shuanghuanglian oral liquid plus Shedanchuanbei liquid, etc., and then injected with dexamethasone. Also pay attention to keeping your dog warm from the cold. In addition, don’t forget to disinfect your home regularly to give your dog a clean environment!

2. Chronic bronchitis If your dog coughs for a long time, it usually means he has chronic bronchitis.

Dogs show symptoms of prolonged onset, persistent dry cough, and frequent coughing when the temperature is low in the morning and evening or due to food irritation. If your dog is sick and medicine is ineffective, you can use some antibiotics (cephaladine is more effective).

If you want to relieve a cough, you can dissolve a piece of codeine in a bottle of Jizhizhi syrup, shake it well and give it to your dog, half to a tablespoon, which has a good antitussive effect. Take it when you have a severe cough. If conditions permit, 250 mg of kanamycin or 50 mg of gentamicin can be dissolved in 3 ml of normal saline for aerosol treatment, twice a day for three days. This treatment is only available in pet hospitals. This aerosol treatment is also very effective.

Usually canEat some Nian Ji'an syrup. Pay attention to keeping your dog warm and not getting cold. After the dog is cured, he can be immunized with the six-link vaccine. But if the dog owner feels that his nose is very hot, he may be sick or have a cold and should seek medical treatment in time. If its nose sprays water from time to time, it's a cold and you need to see a doctor.
