Tamiflu is the magic bullet for bird flu, however it may be useful in some specific situations. For example, if you have been in close contact with someone who is infectious or work in a high risk occupation (e.g., health care worker).

So your dog has that honking, dry hacking, coughing, retching, sneezing, snorting, gagging, Kennel Cough. What do you do now? If the cough is not productive ask your vet for a cough suppressant. (You'll both sleep much better!) There are both viral and bacterial strains of Kennel Cough.

Perfectly healthy dogs occasionally make hacking or coughing sounds when they are exposed to dust or get something stuck in their throats or noses. In such situations, canines experience brief coughing spells that are simply attempts to clear their throats or noses.

Puppy Update. Hi everyone! Here’s the latest on the pups, Ben & Jerry: they are doing really well. They are fighting off a case of kennel cough but seem to be getting better and are growing very quickly.

Hooli's come to stay with me for two weeks. He was originally supposed to just come for one week while my daughter moves house, but he's developed Kennel Cough and so needs to be kept away from other dogs.
