Default Homeopathic Remedies For Kennel Cough

http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com...-kennel-cough/

This is a great article for those who'd like to try alternative ways
of treating sickness, especially when the kennel cough "vaccine" does
so poorly on protecting dogs.

Default Homeopathic Remedies For Kennel Cough

Plain Robitussin Cough Syrup, NOT including dextromethorphan a cough
suppressant or a decongestant, is inexpensive, easy to find in the US
(any place that sells cough syrup), 5 ml/1teaspoon, given at bedtime,
does a dandy job. And you know what you're getting.

It's not a remedy. It suppresses a cough for a limited amount of time
and that's about it. Also your dosing instructions don't say what
weight that would apply to. I don't understand the comment about "you
know what you are getting". Most people don't know the side effects of
robitussin and don't read the labels enough to know that there are
usually other ingredients in it that could cause harm to a dog. By
itself it can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or drowsiness and
some dogs are allergic to it.

That doesn't sound like a good choice to me. As I said, all it does is
treat a symptom, it doesn't cure and isn't always safe.

But Cyndi, the remedies you are espousing don't cure either. If they
did, they would be commonly used and readily available on a physician's
or vet's recommendation.
