My brother received a Pomperan from his daughter last monday that she received from a rescue shelter. Thursday the dog developed a dry hacking cough and a sore throat. He took it to the vet who gave him a script for the sore throat and said that these dogs have a small windpipe that causes them some problems. I believe the dog has kennel cough but I do no remember how to treat it. The dog is three years old and I don't think it would be life threaten to him but would like to have the cough cleared up.
