Kennel cough is a common cause of a loud honking cough and I find that people often think it sounds like something is stuck in the throat. If Jerry is eating and drinking normally and does not appear to be having trouble breathing you might monitor him for another few days - kennel cough will generally resolve in about 7 days without specific treatment. If the cough continues, if it is getting worse, if Jerry is having trouble breathing or seems lethargic, or if his appetite is decreased you should see a veterinarian. You could look into Care Credit as a payment option or visit this website: https://www.avma.org/resources/pet-owners/yourvet/financial-assistance-veterinary-care-costs
