Take him to the vet. One of the more common reasons for an ongoing cough, besides kennel cough, is heart worms or congestive heart failure. The heart worms can cause the heart failure. There is a simple test to find out. It only takes minutes. If you ignore the problem, it could cost your dog his life. If it is not heart worms or CHF, the vet can narrow it down, and let you know what else the problem is.

Never give an animal human medicine unless a veterinarian prescribes it specifically. It can kill it. Ask a vet what to give the puppy.

Your 4 month old puppy has kennel cough Can he be neutered in 2 wks?

That question should be asked of the vet, not us at Wiki. Four months old is too young to neuter, anyway. There are studies that indicate early spay/neuter is not a good thing to do for your pet. You should wait until they are a minimum of 6 months old.

Is kennel cough contagious?

I say yes! My 4 shelties are strictly indoor dogs with the exception of using the bathroom in our fenced in very small, & clean yard. We fostered a stray feral cat and her kittens for 2+ mos in order for them to become adoptable.(totally isolated from our dogs) Last month we surrendered them to the humane society and since have made 2 visits there. My 6 yr old MUST pet every dog she sees. My 9 yr old, otherwise perfectly healty dog has come down with kennel cough. We do not go to dog parks or any other parks with her. They are NEVER around any other animals, ever. So the ONLY thing that makes sense is that she got it from US who got it from the Humane society. I was told a dog that had it can spread it for up to 3 wks AFTER they stop showing all signs of having had it. SO this is why I am saying absolutely yes!
