[bucks better beagles]

I am treating my dog with Tetracycline, 250 mg., 3 times a day. Any other suggestions.

The only thing I have ever known for kennel Cough is to let it run its Course usually about 2 weeks If not all the dogs have it you can vaccinate the others for it using the injection or the nasal spray either one the Shots always worked best for us..
You can give a childs dose of Robitussin for the cough..Seems to help a little

i ahve given robitissen and pennicillin with good results..it still has to run its course though..

Are you sure that's what it is? I only ask because I have a male I was treating for it and just wasn't making any headway. My wife took him to the vet and he has an infection picked up from either spores or drinking from a puddle while out running. Symptoms are exactly the same but the infection of course is not contagious. They put him on Baytril.
