VerifiedWelcome, my name is***** am a BVSc-graduate of Vet School, with 15 years experience of Medicine and Surgery. It is my privilege to attend to your question about Luna shortly.
• Yes, the symptoms you describe could well be kennel cough. It is often described as a "retching cough". Dogs keep coughing and can make themselves nauseous after a while, so it is quite possible that bile may be vomited. As you also describe, it can sound like there is something stuck in the throat.
• I normally like to put these dogs onto a course of aspirin for a short course of 5 days. The dose is 3 mg/lb. It can be given twice a day with food (not on an empty stomach).
• Salmon oil is also handy for a cough. For a medium size dog, a teaspoon of the oil can be given twice a day. The salmon oil is rich in Omega-3's and will have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Thanks, ***** ***** 10 days.
