Hi new member here and I joined really to seek some advice.
I have a 17 weeks old puppy and after a couple of days of having him we found out he had kennel cough (caught it from the breeders) his symptoms were always hacking trying to clear his throat, wet nose and sounding crackly. After spending the night at the emergency vets they prescribed him with some antibiotics for kennel cough. His symptoms got much better and the coughing/hacking all the time has stopped however 2 months on and he is still on antibiotics (which we only found out the other day also treats pneumonia) after a few check ups. He still sounds a bit crackly which only tends to happen in the morning or at night and he always trying to bring up phlegm but always ends up swallowing it he is his happy and energetic self and has always had his appetite.
I was just looking for some advice is this normal for a puppy to take this long to get over kennel cough or is it something else?
Thanks in advance
