My Yorkie puppy has kennel cough. How to help her runny nose?

Question

Hi there! My 10 week old Yorkie has a cough and runny nose. She went to the vet last week and was given medication for what the vet said was "kennel cough." Is there anything else I can do to help her feel better? Her runny nose was pretty bad this morning. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 13 days old | 1lb

I am sorry to hear about Berkley. If she has worsened since your vet saw her, it is worth a call to her vet to let them know, as they may want to recheck her or change/add medication. Things to try at home that may be helpful would include putting a humidifier in the room with her or if you do not have one, doing a steam treatment by placing her in the bathroom while you run a hot shower to steam up the room for 10 minutes a couple times a day. This can help to loosen the mucus in the nasal passages.
