I'd say your little buddy is highly allergic to whatever is on your floors

(what are floors being CLEANED with??)

Most ALL cleaning products are very toxic...

unless you're using something like Miracle 2 soaps & Neutralizer.

Check www.ewg.org for lists of toxins in cleaning & personal care products.

Look for Body Burden study.

Pets suffer even more than people!

They are on the floor (or toxic lawns) most of the time!

Kennel Cough

 

Greetings list members,

 

My little " Buddy " has this terrible cough and hacking. When he's

having an episode he seems so much in stress. He is an 8 month old

Chihuahua weighing a little over 8 lbs. The vet says he has " kennel

cough " (tracheobronchitis) usually a bacterial infection and has

prescribed anti-biotics. I don't take anti-biotics myself, strictly

because I see them as unsafe and anti-health. Is there some other

safe treatment for my little Buddy. Something to suppress the cough

and make him a little more comfortable and fight the bacterial

infection. Any information to research will be greatly appreciated.

If you rule out allergies, some folks have had success using

Grapefruit Seed Extract with animals... but I haven't ready anything

about dogs specifically, so do your homework before using!

I'm worried that my dog has kennel cough. I work at doggy daycare

and I take my dogs with me to work. We have two confirmed cases of

kennel cough there, but the dogs have been in isolation and we've

been doing our best to disinfect behind us when we walk them seperate

from the other population. My dog has had kennel cough before and it

presents with a dry hacking cough, where it sounds like he's trying

to cough something up. Then he gets his gag reflex going so much he

then does cough up mucus, but I think all that is from the stomach.

 

I'm not sure if he has it yet because he was chewing on a bone last

night and might have actually been trying to cough something up when

I heard him cough. Since then I haven't heard anything, but I'm

watching him like a hawk. I have a gut instinct that he might have

it though.

 

Last time he had it I had him treated with a cough suppresant and

antibiotics, but it didn't seem to speed up the sickness any sooner

than the dogs I've seen that weren't treated. The cough suppressant

did make him more comfortable so he didn't gag up everywhere, but

wasn't necessary in the expedition of the illness. Do you have any

recommendations for a good cough suppresant and something to move

this out fast if it's in its first stages?

 

I was thinking of using Bai Hu ju Jin Wan because it moistens the

lungs (dry cough), clears heat, and relieves cough. My dog has

normal bowels at the begining to middle of the day, then in the

afternoon and evening will notoriously have loose stools. His energy

level seems normal and he doesn't have any mucusy symptoms.

 

What do you think?

You want to thoroughly research anything you might give him to make

sure it's safe for dogs. There are a lot of things that humans can eat

that can kill a dog or cat. Like chocolate, onions, and quite a few

other things.
