A dog can cough after any procedure that requires anesthesia because an endotracheal tube is placed down the dog's trachea to deliver oxygen and anesthesia. The endotracheal can be mildly irritating, and cause temporary inflammation to the trachea. The Temeril-p acts as an anti-inflammatory. If the temeril-p is insufficient, an over the counter cough suppressant such as Vicks cough medicine or other over the counter cough medicine may help. Use 1/2 tsp. 3 times per day.
Our minature poodle had his teeth cleaned today. Anytime he has had teeth cleaning, he gets a bad cough for about 4 days. Our vet gave him Temeril-P to be given twice daily. He is still coughing. Is this med going to help or should he be on something else for the cough? He starts on Amoxicillin tomorrow. Thanks!

I am very sorry for your loss!
Steroids can cause lots of problems but causing a heart to enlarge is not one of them. Your dog's heart became enlarged most likely due to heredity.
