My dog woke up this morning and he was coughing, sneezing and wheezing. Are there any meds that I can give him from over the counter?

I have not seen your pet so I cannot legally prescribe meds. If the coughing and sneezing continue, you need to have a vet exam and potentially X-rays of the lungs taken to make sure Keaton doesn't have heart disease, asthma, cancer, collapsing trachea, etc. going on. Often a bout of coughing and sneezing happens once and passes, and isn't a cause for concern if it is not repeatable.
