My spayed Husky won't eat, has kennel cough. Should I see vet?

Question

Just adopted our Husky on Friday. Thursday, the morning before, morning she was spayed. I assume she ate some point Thursday or Friday morning. Since we got her, shes only nibbled on some treats. She wont eat any food. She also has what I assume is kennel cough. Her breathing is a little rough at times. I just started giving her her antibiotics tonight. Should I bring her to be seen or give her a few days to work through? Pet's info: Dog | Husky | Female | spayed | 53 lbs

Congratulations on adding Bailey to your family! With all things considered: being post-op, developing a cough and not eating well....I think having her seen would be a good idea. Since she can't talk and tell you how she feels, it's best to be safe. The doctor will check her over for any signs of complication from the surgery, make sure she doesn't look dehydrated and give her a general once over. I hope she's on the path to recovery quickly! At home you may try feeding her a boiled chicken breast and boiled white rice with extra warm water added. This may help to encourage her appetite until she is feeling better. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction. Please feel free to post any further questions!
