I have a female dog with 5 pups and they all had parvo.
I made several vet visits for treatment and they are now done with meds and are doing great.
Today I noticed the momma dog was coughing quite a bit and there was very little mucus, like she couldn’t get it out. I was looking online for what it might be. It may be kennel cough and for that I read to take your pet in a steam filled bathroom so I did that and she finally coughed up a lot of mucus she is resting comfortable now with no coughing for about an hour now.
My question is with her just getting over parvo do I need to make a trip to the vet or can this be treated at home?

Hi Jill,
This is a vet question that probably requires at least a phone call to the vet you last visited for advice. So that’s the first thing we’re going to suggest, the phone call and if I were you, I’d make that trip too.
The next is that you need to keep a very close watch on your dog because health problems like these can take a rapid change for the worse and you’ll want to be ready to rush her for help if this happens.
The phone call will give you better advice because that vet knows your dog.
Best Wishes for your dogs speedy return to health,
Taylor
