Animals displaying clinical signs were quarantined and aggressively treated by veterinarians with supplemental oxygen, anti-inflammatory medications, bronchodilators (
nebulized albuterol), broad - spectrum antibiotics, and antivirals (oseltamivir and / or ribavirin).
If your dog is in distress and your veterinarian has ruled out anything more serious than kennel cough, the pet may feel better with aerosolized (
nebulized) compounds that dilate the lungs (ipratropium, Atrovent, aminophylline,
albuterol) or that loosen and break up mucus.
