My Fiest( I know that he isn't really a hound but this is just a general question) has a hacking cough for about 2 or 3 days now. Does any body know what this could be? It's always a dry cough with nothing ever coming up. What could I give him to make him better? I have heard this could be heart worms or just a dry dust cough. I don't want him to make dd444's hound dogs sick if he has something catchy. They are all sharing a pen right now. Any help would be welcomed. Thanks

Thanks for posting nycoyotehoundsman everyone needs to read that.He acts like its kennel cough.If its kennel cough I can cure it fast but cin3kids don't like my home remedies.Even if it works on my hounds her mutt might not be able to stand it. dd444

Go to your local tractor supply or farm store--that is where we got our kennel cough meds. (Bought a bassett and she had it.) Easy to give. Better to take care of it in one hound, than in all of them. If that doesn't work, I'd check with your vet.

kennel cough is very contagious it wil go through all your dogs get some LA200 at your dog supplies store or feed store this will usually clear it up in a few days I have given 1/2 cc of plain old clorox orally and that helps too(but they don't like it much)

roundman I thought I was the only one to still use the old cures like that.The dog is well now and I did use clorox bleach on it.But I gave it 3 cc of it.Been using it for years and haven't kill one yet using it..but thats just my opinion if anyone here trys it you do it at your own risk.. ;D dd444

there are alot of old time remedies out there and the old houndsmen will help if the younger generation will listen.an old fella that hunts the fox trials with us swears if he had time left in this world he could find a cure for aids with the right combination of clorox,kerosene and penicillen ;D ;D ;D ;D and as much as he has proven to be right about some of his tricks I almost believe him

Try 3ml shot of LA 200, skip a day & repeat. Cough should be gone on 4th day, or It will leave on its on in about 7 to 10. If they are continually gagging & coughing up nasty looking stuff, infection has set in, go to the fish pill Amoxicillian, twice a day for 5 days, be sure a little something is in thier stomach before giving the pills.
