Thank you for submitting your question regarding Milo. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian today. I worry that the cough is getting worse. He may have an upper respiratory tract infection, but there are more serious causes of coughing. The veterinarian will examine him and may recommend x-rays of his chest. Based on these results, treatment can be started. I hope this information helps!
