Is my dog's cough, gagging, and vomiting white stuff kennel cough?

Question

She's been coughing, gagging and vomiting white stuff since 8 hours. I took her to the vet , who gave her a shot of Aciloc and another shot of Ondem. However, I'm doubting she has kennel cough. Do the symptoms match??? If so, what are the remedies? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 1 day old | 17 lbs

At 9 months of age kennel cough is the most likely. I suggest you look up some videos on YouTube of dogs with kennel cough and you may see that they symptoms match. Most dogs with kennel cough seem completely normal other than the cough. Eating and drinking and pretty much acting normal. Kennel cough just needs to run it's course. There is no specific treatment for it. In the United States we give a cough suppressant and antibiotics (only to prevent pneumonia which can happen secondarily). It usually takes 7-14 days for the symptoms to completely resolve depending on the severity of the case. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes.
