I have a foster chihuahua who I took in from the county pound because he was going to be euthanized for his minor UTI. I took him to my vet who put him on a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Three days later, he developed a cough-one that sounds just like kennel cough. I don't it's kennel cough because he doesn't have a temperature, he's still on Trimeth/Sulfameth, AND he received the Bordatella vacc. A few days after I noticed his cough, one of my other dogs started with the same cough. It's a cough-cough-gag kind of cough. This morning, ALL 5 of my dogs have the same cough. It only bothers them when they get excited and are playing. My youngest is on the treadmill as I type and is at a full pant, but is not coughing.
I don't want to pay to take each dog to the vet only to have him tell me to wait it out. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? I really don't think it's kennel cough since all my dogs have been vaccinated against it this year and none of them have a temp. Thanks for your help!
