My dog finished kennel cough antibiotics but still coughs, vet visit?

Question

Our dog has had antibiotics for kennel cough. They finished on Friday last week but he still has a bit of a cough should we take him back to the vets

Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

The cough can linger for a couple weeks. If he is otherwise acting normal than it may just take a little more time for the cough to resolve. If you notice any lethargy, anorexia, difficulty breathing, or fever than I he should definitely be rechecked.
