Most cases of kennel cough will resolve, with or without treatment, within 3-4 weeks. The cough can linger for a bit longer. A half teaspoon of honey several times daily may soothe her throat and ease the cough. Monitor for lethargy, fever, difficulty breathing or a productive cough. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Cough can be caused by an infection, heart problem or lung condition, it is important to first know the cause before treating it as treatment is different from condition to another. The most common disease causing cough is a viral infection called Kennel cough, this disease usually resolves without treatment within a couple weeks but if the cough is too severe it is recommended to go to the vet in order to get cough medicine and antibiotics.

Have you ever heard of treating canine flu with phosphorous 30c? Do you recommend it? If not, what other homeopathic remedies would you suggest?
Yes, I have heard of this treatment. The efficacy is variable so I cannot say it is a 100% effective treatment. If you want to go the homeopathic route then it is worth a try. Here is a link you can refer to for dosing. They also recommend an alternative treatment if the phosphorus does not seem to be helping (nux vomica 30c). That treatment I am not familiar with. ( https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/natural-treatment-for-dog-flu/ ) At the end of the day, if your dog is ill I strongly recommend you work closely with your local vet to make a treatment plan. Antibiotics are often administered to dogs with the flu to prevent secondary infections from bacterial agents.

What can I give my dog for kennel cough over the counter to give my dog for kennel cough
Kennel Cough can be both viral or bacterial in nature, so treatment may vary depending on the cause of your dog's cough. If your dog is experiencing a bad cough, or signs of a bacterial infection, then making an appointment with your local vet is best as medications used to treat chronic cough are regulated and not usually available over the counter, and antibiotics may be needed if the cause is bacterial. Do NOT give any over the counter medications to your dog without first consulting a vet, as the dosage, amount and duration may be different in dogs than humans, and some medications may be toxic to pets. For viral Kennel Cough, caring for your dog's symptoms and helping him to overcome his illness are best. Make sure he is well hydrated, still eating and has plenty of rest to help recover. As Kennel Cough is contagious, keeping him away from other dogs until his symptoms resolve will help stop its spread. If your dog frequents locations such as the dog park, day cares, or kennels,

My dog has kennel cough. What should i do? Can i give some home remedies? If yes, then what can I give him to soothe?
There's really nothing that can be given at home to lessen the duration of the condition. Keep him warm and rested, away from other dogs and be patient. If he hasn't been seen by a vet, it's a good idea to since he may need antibiotics to help him recover faster. If he's coughing so much he cannot sleep or rest, that's another reason to get him seen so he can be prescribed cough suppressants. An occasional spoonful of honey can coat his throat and help suppress the cough temporarily.
