Kennel Cough Treatments and Home Remedies for Those Nasty Kennel Cough Symptoms

Conventional Kennel Cough treatment usually involved the use of Prednisone (steroids), and/or antibiotics.

Bronchodilators and cough suppressants may also be prescribed.

Alternative methods of treating Kennel Cough use herbs or homeopathy. Herbal Kennel Cough treatments will usually have a combination of Echinacea Purpurea Root, Coltsfoot Flower, Marshmallow and Mullein Flower as the primary ingredients.

A good herbal Kennel Cough treatment often works just as fast as its medical counterparts, and tends to have far fewer (if any) side effects. On the other hand, steroids and antibiotics in particular are well known to cause some suppression of the immune system - a side effect which can have far reaching adverse effects on your pet's overall health.

Obviously you should always consult with your vet if you are at all worried, and if your dog (or cat) is exhibiting lethargic behavior or appears to have a fever, then you should not delay in seeking professional veterinary assistance.

If your pet has a nasty cough but seems otherwise happy and in reasonable general health, then you may well wish to consider administering a good herbal Kennel Cough remedy.

Kennel Cough symptoms that you should be on the look-out for are as follows:

* A constant, dry hacking cough that may resemble a "honking" type of noise
* Gagging or vomiting after minimal physical activities or on pressure on the windpipe
* Sneezing
* There may be a watery, runny discharge from the nose
* There may also be fever
* Lethargy is less common, but can be present, and may indicate a severe case of kennel cough.
