Something other than kennel cough for my boxer pup?
Hello!
My 4-month old female boxer has suffered from a chronic cough for the past 3 weeks or so where she sounds like a 30+ year smoker hacking up a lung. However, it only occurs around when she has been sleeping (i.e., middle of the night, first waking up). Additionally, she has a runny nose with a thick, sometimes yellow mucus.
I have taken her to the vet where she has been put on two different antibiotics. Also:
1. Her cough has cleared from occuring all the time to what was explained above;
2. The Vet, upon checking her out, said there was no fluid in the lungs and ruled out pnemonia;
3. She recently tested positive for Giardia and just started meds for it.
Has anyone else had these symptoms with his/her boxer? Could it be allergies? Additional symptons of Giardia? For the 1.5 months we have had poor Piper, she has been on various antibiotics.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Call the person you bought her from and complain. Make sure you go to the vet as often as possible. Things may get worse or better…. good luck
Usually giardia symptoms are bloating, swelling, loose stool…But you have much going on their..It’s good this pup found a home with responsible people but i would call this breeder and have a TALK>> Mucus would be a concern as you stated..If it has color generally speaking this means infection..so you may have to continue with anti biotics for some time to know exactly whats happening..Keep your vets phone number handy! I hope things work out well and soon!
