Thanks guys. Unfortunately he has already been in contact with our JR. Last time I had to deal with kennel cough was over 20 years ago when I got a dog from Battersea Dogs Home in London! He has had a rough time lately but he's still smiling in true collie fashion. I will search out some of the honey as suggested. And I will try and post some pics of him soon, he really is a very beautiful dog

Looks like our lovely rescue collie may have kennel cough Brief history: we picked him up from the pound on Tuesday 27th October where he had been given a C3. Took him to the vet the next a.m and booked him in for desexing on Friday. They did the job and also upgraded his vaccinationto C5. By the weekend the hideous plastic funnel that he had to wear to stop him licking his bits and pieces had caused sores under his neck. I took it off on Sunday night as it was horrible. Back to the vets for a check up yesterday and he had his neck clipped and some cream for his sores and some anti biotics. Today he is sneezing and had a few coughs. My son said he was coughing last night (he sleeps in his room). Does this sound like kennel cough to you? He has to go back to the vets on friday, I just thought I might get some advice here beforehand. Thanks
