puggy_puggy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Intranasal KC vaccinations can make dogs have snotty/stuffy noses. Was he from a pound or another place he could have picked up the KC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dogs recover in a week or so without too much drama, if there is a lot of coughing you can use Benadryl Original cough medicine ... 5-10 mil up to four times a day. If he seems distressed, the cough gets much worse or there is coloured snot coming from his nose he probably has a secondary infection and will need antibiotics. Basically treat him as if he was a child with a cold ... warm and quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
