So Henry recently started to acquire a mild cough. He did it yesterday after he ran a little bit and during his meal. It was just 1 cough after running, and during his meals i'll feed him a handful at a time in his bowl and he would let out 1 cough after each handful. It was kind of a dry bronchitus type cough, sort of like honking noise. It didn't look to be a painful type cough.
I watched some kennel cough videos and it sounds like the cough, but there is no hacking or throwing up. He still eats, drinks, plays as usual.
The coughs are never repeating just 1 at a time when he gets excited or during meals.
He was at a puppy playtime last Saturday at Petco so he has been around other puppies/dogs. He will be 17 weeks old on Friday.
I'm taking him to the vet this afternoon to weigh him and get the vets opinion. Since this is relatively new occurance, should i be leary of medications the vet might want to put him on?
btw, Henry's stool is looking great now and very formed all week.
