I am frusterated and do not know what to do, but I may just be over-reacting. I have two chihuahuas. Zoe who is 2.5 years old and Oliver who is 13 weeks, I brought him home when he was 9 weeks old on 9/16. He wasn't coughing at the place I adopted him from but he was coughing/sneezing within an hour of bringing him home. I first brought him to the Vet the adoption place recommended and they said it was an upper respiratory infection and gave him Clavamox. Days later, Zoe started in as well and I brought her to my normal vet and they said it was Kennel Cough and also gave her Clavomox. Almost a week later, they were no better.
*Note- Zoe had bronchitis in July and was on a tough regimen of medicine and she got better. She also had rare moments where her trachea would constrict, causing a weird cough. The vet assured me that small dogs just sometimes do this.
Back to the question- I brought them both to a different Vet. He agreed that it was Kennel Cough and it takes time to go away, gave a different antibiotic and a kennel cough vaccine through their nose. It seemed to help because they are not as bad as they were. I went back a week later, he assured me their lungs were fine, and gave another round of the vaccine.
So, almost a month into this whole ordeal and they are still coughing/sneezing on a regular basis. Numerous times a day, probably several times in an hour, at least. The puppie's gets worse at night.
Am I over reacting or should I travel out of town to a different vet? Does anyone know if it takes THIS long for KC to go away? Could it be something else?
