 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
