Children's over the counter cough suppressants containing dextromethorphan hydrobromide, 1mg/lb body weight every six hours can be administered if the cough is overly frequent and tires your dog. � Remember, however that a cough is a protective reflex designed to clear secretions from the larynx and airways and therefore should not be unduly suppressed. � Cough suppressants mask signs but do not treat any disease. � If your dog has a fever or any other symptoms you should take him or her to your veterinarian.�� �� Back to Main Page |
