NO! Do not give any Azithromycin. That will not help this problem. The only thing that helps a hoarse voice to rest it so if you can, try to keep him from barking. It is not life threatening. My guess is that he may have a touch of kennel cough and it will usually resolves within 10-14 days. If it does not, or if he starts showing other symptoms (vomiting, not eating, lethargy, nasal discharge) then I would get him to a vet for an exam. I hope this helps! Best wishes!
