Kennel Cough ?

[Freedom]

Hello Becca, you are a very sweet LOOKING baby girl! I put looking like that because mom is telling tales on you -- ALREADY, ha ha haaa!

Reverse sneezing is not usually a concern; bichons do it often.

The cough I would discuss with the vet. Did you have a wellness check with the vet when you first got her?

Kennel cough, you would KNOW that, it is a horrible deep cough and keeps the entire home awake at night. No matter she is a small dog; you would know the sound, even never having heard it before.

I'm not sure if Becca would qualify as a "Brachycephalic" dog. Pugs and Pekes are. A few bichons are. The muzzle / nose is very short, and the head more flat. Makes for breathing issues. Cough is one of the signs. Read up a bit on it, and ask the vet about that, too.

Freedom, thank you and all for your very kind words.

Her cough is rather "light", compared to what you described, and, both of their muzzles are reasonably straight, I've never had this problem with my Male.

With all of your kind help, I'll try to be patient and get the Vet to comment on this issue. Thank ALL of you again.

Have a good Day !
