Treatment methods for border collie cough:
The main causes of cough in Border Collies include inflammation of the throat, larynx, trachea and bronchi and other respiratory mucosa and irritating cough caused by secretions. In addition, pharyngitis, laryngitis, laryngeal edema, acute and chronic bronchitis, etc. may cause cough in Border Collies.
Treatments for coughs caused by lung disease, viral, bacterial infections or parasitic infections vary. Therefore, it is necessary to first understand the reasons why Border Collies cough.
Because the original intention of coughing is to help clear phlegm and foreign matter from the respiratory tract, which is a self-protection function of animals. If you have a mild cough or only a small amount of phlegm, it is not recommended to use cough suppressants immediately. It gives the body some time to repair itself.
For severe and frequent phlegm cough, cough medicine, expectorant and cough syrup, etc. should be applied promptly.
Treatment methods:
First of all: You can choose azithromycin. Calculated based on the dog’s weight per kilogram, the dosage is 0.2 ml, twice a day, for 2 consecutive days.
Secondly: It is recommended to choose ribavirin. Calculated based on the dog’s weight per kilogram, the dosage is 0.2 ml, twice a day, for 2 consecutive days.
Finally: For 2 consecutive days, the dosage of dexamethasone is 0.2 ml per kilogram of the dog’s body weight, twice a day.
If the Border Collie’s cough is very serious, parents must send the dog to the pet hospital for treatment in time, and do not give the dog indiscriminate medication to avoid delaying the condition.
