Can kennel cough last over 6 months?
Usually if the animal is removed from the kennel, the cough goes away. If the animal has been removed and is still showing symptoms within two weeks of leaving the kennel odds are it is more severe than kennel cough. Have a vet see the animal if this is the case to make sure.(Though it has no correlation to being kept in a kennel but is just called this because a kennel is a common place to get the virus because of the large exposure to various dogs. Any exposure to other dogs can run the risk of your dog getting kennel cough.)However, there are rare cases with puppies, often small breed puppies specifically, where the kennel cough can last until about 6 months of age. If all tests are done and and all other potential causes ruled out the symptoms are usually treated and the cough tends to just disappear around 6 months of age. This is not common as kennel cough usually clears up in several weeks but happens often enough for breeders and vets to nickname it puppy cough.
How long can a dog go with kennel cough?
It is possible for a dog to go a long time with kennel cough. This disease doesn't usually kill dogs, and eventually it can go away on its own. The problem with kennel cough is that it makes your dog more susceptible to other illnesses, such as pneumonia, which could kill him, so you should contact the veterinarian to get your dog treated. Also, your other dogs and your neighbor's dogs could catch kennel cough from the one that is sick.
Is there a home remedy for kennel cough for a little dog?
Kennel cough IS highly contagious but its like a human cough, you wouldn't go to the doctor to treat it so why get the vet to treat it. A teaspoon of good quality manuka honey a few times a day and some plain natural yoghurt after their tea. It'll go away in about a week.

How do you treat kennel cough at home?
Kennel Cough, is NOT contgious to puppies! If you go to the vets (which isn't usually necessary in Kennel Cough) they will likely prescribe an antibiotic to prevent secondary bacterial infections; however, Kennel Cough is viral and the antibiotics will not cure the Kennel Cough, it simply has to run its course (approximately 2 weeks).As for home remedies, I have heard that a few drops of Hydrogen peroxide in the water dish will help ease the cough. Also, oil of oregano has shortened the duration of the cough. I have also heard of people using Benadryl or Robitussin DM but I haven't tried that myself. I have been giving my Beagle honey as well to help ease her throat. It is also recommended to keep a humidifier near her.
