I had a question. About a couple weeks ago my dogs was prescribed doxycycline for what they said is pneumonia. Well she started coughing again and I was wondering what can I give her that's like a home remedie? We don't have the money to afford taking her to a vet unfortunately

Unfortunately there are no OTC medications you can give Chloe. If she's coughing again, she needs to see the vet to get medications prescribed to treat it. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ Check out these resources to see if one can help you, and please take her into the vet. Best of luck.
