Kennel Cough Treatment in Buckhead
Kennel cough is a common and highly contagious respiratory infection in dogs. We provide kennel cough treatment in Buckhead to diagnose the condition and help your dog recover comfortably.
Most cases are mild, but some dogs may require treatment depending on their symptoms and overall health.
Signs of Kennel Cough
Persistent dry cough
Gagging or retching
Sneezing
Nasal discharge
Mild lethargy
If your dog develops a cough that doesn’t improve, it’s important to have them evaluated.
How We Diagnose Kennel Cough
Diagnosis is typically based on:
Physical exam
Review of symptoms and recent exposure (boarding, grooming, dog parks)
Additional testing may be recommended if symptoms are more severe or persistent.
Treatment and Management
Treatment depends on the severity of the infection and may include:
Medications to manage coughing
Rest and limited activity
Monitoring for worsening symptoms
Most dogs recover with supportive care, but follow-up may be needed if symptoms continue.
Because kennel cough spreads easily, limiting contact with other dogs during recovery is important.
If your dog is coughing or showing signs of a respiratory infection, schedule a visit and we’ll help you determine the next steps.
