Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | 8 lbs

Hi my dog(Chihuahua) just went to the vet a week ago he got all his vaccines and a clean bill of health. Well 2 days after he started with a reverse sneezing 4 days later he has a cough. What can I give him at home for this. I don't have the extra money to take him back to the vet.

Hi. Unfortunately there isnt anything safe you can give from home for a cough. There are no safe human or over the counter medications either. He would have to be seen unfortunately. Or at least call your veterinarian and let them know what's going on, and maybe they will advise you on antihistamines, or prescribe a medication since he was just there.
