MAPLE SYRUP
01/10/2011: Cc from Matthews, Nc/us: "My dog was diagnosed last year with kennel coughing, whatever stopped within cough. I knew this was wrong because Kennel Cough is higly contagious, so the experts say. I have three other dogs that lives in the same house and they have never caught it. The vet gave my dog an atibiotic which never worked and a year later she is still couging and still no other dogs in the house coughing.
Tonight I tried 1 tbsp. Of Organic maple syrup only and within 10 minutes her hacking, gagging, coughing stopped. I am going to try the lemon juice and 3% peroxide with the maple syrup if this coughing starts again tomorrow.
I will not spend another 200.00 for bloodwork etc.or antibiotics again. That expensive therapy did nothing for my dog. Just 1 TBSP has done the job for now.ÂMaybe we all will have a quiet night and day tomorrow. I know she is miserable coughing all the time. It's defintely not a contagious disease whatever the cause."

[YEA] 06/26/2011: Rosalind from Grand Prairie, Tx: "Thanks to all of you. I picked my Yorkie up from the Kennel after being on vacation for a week and noticed that she had runny nose, coughing and feeling miserable. I begin to search for answers to why she maybe coughing. I am so "GLAD" I found this site. I've used the remedies you all have suggested and it's working. Honey, lemon juice, 3% hydrogen peroxide.... Wow... This is amazing. I was going to take her to the Vet and probably spend tons of money. You all are awesome and I thank GOD that you have shared "ALL" of the remedies with us. I've wrote them "ALL" down and will share with those who has experienced what we all have gone through. GOD bless you all! Shyla (my yorkie) is much happiers now!"

[NAY] 02/16/2009: Diane from Lakeland, FL: "Yorkie with breathing and coughing problems: I have a 10 year old Yorkie who is coughing quite a bit. She coughs like she is trying to get something up, but never does. Sometimes I can hear rattling when she breathes like there is liquid in there. After coughing she wheezes for a while. Usually activity causes her to cough. The vet had her on all types of meds, but they have not helped. I have tried ACV, H202, yogurt, acidopholus....and nothing seems to help. I hate for her to have such problems and would like to hear if you have any recommendations. The meds that the vet put her on just made her miserable. I would prefer to stay away from that."

[YEA] 03/01/2008: Kelly from Memphis, Tennessee: "My Pomeranian, Holly, had kennel cough. WE used the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, but the cough would just get weaker. We then tried no-dye Benadryl in the the morning and at night. It works great she has a lot of energy during the day and at night she can sleep. We are going to do this remedy for another week so she can get better."
Replies06/11/2008: Cathy from Woodridge, Canada replies: "To Kelly from Memphis- cough medicine. I have a Sheltie that has a cough. The Vet told me to give her Robitussin DM - he made a point of saying it had to be DM BUT I never thought to ask him how to get it down her. He gave me a syringe but its all over her bib and nothing in her mouth. I tried H202. Can't put it in her water dish...2 dogs and 2 cats drink the same water. Put in a dish of warm milk with a tsp of honey. She drank about 1/4 of it. I will try again later. "

[YEA] 12/27/2007: Hilary from San Tan, Arizona: "100% Natural Oregano oil in capsules ; 2 capsules twice a day for a week or so, about 2 to 5 drops of oregano oil per capsule with a carrier agent like grape seed oil (about 12 drops). You can get the essential oil at most nature type food stores and the empty capsules. Within a few days you will notice a huge difference in your dog and within a week no more coughing and back to normal. You can also sterilize your home of germs and viruses by putting about 15 to 20 drops in a humidifier and running it. Your house will smell like a wonderful italian kitchen and the house will be sanitized!"

[YEA] 11/27/2009: Dusty from Modesto, Ca: "My dog developed a cough and was coughing up a clear mucus. She lost her energy and had a hard time eating dry food and wasn't drinking as much water as she normally does. I fed her canned food which she ate very quickly...I gave her pedialyte (about a half ounce to an ounce) every two hours for about 8 hours. I left for work and got home about 12 hours later. When I got home, she was running around and playing. She coughed a couple times, but it wasn't that honking, dry cough and she didn't cough up any mucus. My family has used pedialyte when our dogs get sick to prevent them from dehydrating, but it seems to work for parvo as well. I was told u can inject it just under the skin as well, but I fed mine to my dog using a turkey baster. Worked well."
Replies12/19/2009: Larry from Elkhart, In replies: "Bojangles, our 3 year old Shih-Tzu exhibits the same symptoms as your dog -- coughing up clear mucous, refusing to eat dry food mixed with his wet food, less energy at times, and drinking less water. (We use the best wet dog food we can buy). I'm going to try the pedialyte. I don't think he has kennel cough as he's current with his shots;however, our apartment is really dry because it's winter and we have forced air heat. Also he has allergies. Since he also is itching and biting, should I also use 1/2 ml. ACV, 1 tbl honey, 3 drops of peroxide in his water dish? We use benadryl (1, 2x day)He weighs 15 pounds and is healthy otherwise. Thanks for your post and this web site."

REMEDIES NEEDED

05/17/2012: Cassie from Grand Junction, Co: "Hi ~ I have a Douge De Bordeux French Mastive. Foster is about 10 years old. The last check up we had was to do a annual checkup and teeth cleaning. However the vet said he couldn't go under anesthesia because they diagnose him with an enlarged heart and the heart wasn't pumping properly with the other half. And that there was nothing else he could do except put him on Sotalol and fish pills. A month flew by and Foster started getting this cough where it looked like he wanted to yack. So I stop the pills because as a nervous mother I thought maybe he had gotten a fish pill stuck or something. Time has past and the cough is getting worse and the vet cant do anymore. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions, as I am desperate on any herbal remedies."

I don't have the money currently to bring them to the vet and was wondering if and what product I could use for a home remedy to try to see if it would help cure them?? If you could let me know asap - I would greatly appreciate it and I know they would as well!!"
Replies11/22/2011: Timh from Louisville, Usa replies: "Vanillaspices, or they may be suffering from allergins from food or air. Change or clean air filter in your house. Limit or eliminate foods with additives & colorings. Increase omega 3 foods like salmon cat food or even give can sardines. Colloidal Silver or Hydrogen Peroxide is very good natural antibiotic."
11/23/2011: Vanillaspices from Whitman, Massachusetts replies: "Just want to update what's going on after two days with my two female (Maine Coon/ Ragdoll/Tiger Mixes) I have no air purifer or what not so I can't really change the air quality. We are hoping to move; but not sure when. I am looking into changing their food. In the meantime, I did try the Apple Cider Vingar on the back of their neack and in their mouth morn and night (day 1). It seemed to help a little; but not enough to see any real change. The following day I took the Apple Cider Vinegar and mixed Golden Seal extract (only had capsule so opened it and mixed the powder into the vingar) and put on back of neck and in mouth. Within the hour they both were running around and jumping like they were 8 weeks old again! So I am going to try to keep this up and see if this helps them... What do ya'll think???"

Where am I supposed to find these answers to these questions? Thanks everyone for your help."

I immediately searched online and found this site and the Hydrogen peroxide with honey remedy, I gave it a shot; I used a teaspoon of honey, I used a children's cough dropper and gave him 0.08 of the peroxide and 4 ounces of water. I saw improvements the same night, no coughing at all I've been doing it for 2 weeks and no coughing. I highly recommended it!!"
[QUESTION] 07/28/2010: Grant from Orlando, Fl replies: "Please Help! We just got our border collie puppy (he weighed at the vet as 5. 8 lbs) from a rescue about 3 days ago. His litter had parvo and they were all treated for it. He was fine until last night he started coughing a dry cough/dry heave. Sounds like kennel cough I think. We took him to the vet today and the vet gave us antibiotics and some other stuff. We tried the Hydrogen Peroxide/Honey/Water mix I put 3 drops HP 1 teaspoon honey in a full glass of water (probly about 20 oz) then used a dropper to put some in his mouth. We have done it once about every 3 hours. He doesn't seem to be getting better. Are we not using enough? Please Help? Any advice? We are frantic."
08/07/2010: Liz from Scranton, Pa replies: "I just happened to glance here to see the new pet remedies and saw your post. Ironically, I had just posted about goat colostrum and how much it has helped me and my old cat who has a chronic cough. Poor old thing is 17 and was keeping me up all night coughing and sneezing. He was exhausted and I was afraid he was on his way out. I was able to buy goat colostrum on line (fairly reasonably at iherb), but I think you could get cow or goat colostrum at many health food stores. My cat actually likes the taste of this. I am dissolving the capsule's contents in a few tablespoons of water. He laps it up (mother's first milk). Have also tried putting it in small balls of raw meat. Some people with very sick animals dissolve the powder in water and use an eyedropper to get it down the sick critter's throat. I have been giving it to Joseph (my cat) 4 times a day. I think it says to give one capsule per 10 lbs. , but more would not hurt as it is basically a food. Did not notice any difference in Joe the first day, but that night he slept soundly. He continues to improve every day. This was not instantaneous. Old ones do not bounce back, but he is certainly improving-- out exploring, sleeping beside me again, purring-- more energetic. As for me, this stuff really controls my severe allergies, and I feel generally much better. Worked quickly. Please try this for your puppy. A number of people are finding colostrum a better alternative than antibiotics. After two rounds of antibiotics, my cat only got a couple weeks of relief. Colostrum is actually good for animals, and I will probably continue to give him a maintenance dose for the rest of his life once he is back 100%. I hope this helps."
02/27/2011: Kylee from Athens, Ga replies: "My weimanraner woke up in a coughing fit yesterday! Shes never been boarded or to a kennel except to get fixed for one day and that was well over four months ago. All the signs point to kennel cough. It is sunday and none of the vets are open except hospitals which is an automatic $100 charge just to get looked at! I cant wait to try this remedy with the hydrogen peroxide! I'm so glad to have found this. Any tips would be grateful and I will let you know how it goes!"
[YEA] 04/07/2011: Jackie from Osceola Mills, Pa replies: "My Chiuahua Is having a terrible cough with no mucus or anything (yet lol) So I found this website and I went to the store and tried the 3 drops of hydrogen peroxide 3%, Honey, and water in a 12 oz glass of water and WOW he hasnt coughed in like 2 hours! This was amazing, I also read on here to give the dog a bit of garlic as well so I gave him some in a little bit of mashed potatoes and everything is great so far! No coughing and he's finaly getting some rest! Thanks everyone on this site that has put posts on here for treatment. It really worked! Hoping it stays this way till his cough is all better =)"
06/01/2011: Sal from Roodepoort, South Africa replies: "I have two Boerbulls and suspect they have kennel cough. Unfortunately I cannot afford a vet bill so I would like to try the Hydrogen Peroxide treatment. I am extremely confused with which one to get as there seem to be different posts. Should I get the food grade hydrogen peroxide (12%, 17% or 35%)or the pharmacy diluted one to a 3%??"
06/02/2011: Linda from San Tan Valley, Az, Usa replies: "I used the 3% hydrogen (3 drops) mixed in 8 ozs of water; which I poured in their bowl. Also, I gave a teaspoon of honey directly to them, I didn't mix in water. This worked like a charm, I kept this up for 3 days and coughing gone. I am actually once a day putting 3 drops of the hyrogen perx. in their water as a precautionary measure."

[YEA] 08/31/2011: Lcmrockets from Austin, Tx, Usa: "Hi there, awhile back ago when I adopted my dog from the shelter he was in the early stages of Kennel Cough. A previous dog I have owned got Kennel cough once and we took him to the vet. It cost us over $100 and I think about a week later he was almost done with all his meds and he was still just as bad. I called the vet and he said it takes about 2 weeks to get over it. So I was thinking whats the point in the meds they arnt even helping. Anyways this time I went to my local health food store and kinda browsed at the books and I found one I really liked. I think its called the natural health bible for cats and dogs something like that. It said to take vit. C, so I bought a bottle of buffered vit. C made from rose hips bc they are a natural source of vit. C and gave him about half the recomended dose. He's about 50lbs so I think I was giving him about 600 to 800mg a day. It took about a week and it was gone! It worked so great and only cost me like $10! Its so exciting when natural remadies work just as well if not better than drugs! Hope this helps someone, I know all the comments people have left help me so much!!"
Replies01/05/2012: Dr. F from Phoenix, Az replies: "I'm surprised that some Vet or MD hasn't hijacked this thread warning us off all natural remedies and chastising us for not taking our pets to some authority in a white coat immediately. Of course vitamin C, H2O2 and apple cider vinegar work for people and animals. There are hundreds of natural remedies that are safe and effective for infections, but BIG PHARMA and their minions are desperate to misguide us. Thankfully, we have reached a time when the illusion is unravelling."
01/09/2012: Debs from Exmouth, Devon, Uk replies: "Here in the UK, there has been a law passed that it is obligatory for owners to take their pets to the vet if they are unwell at all, or face prosecution. On the face of it, this is a good thing because it makes lackadaisical owners responsible for their pet's welfare but on the more sinister side, it is a way of getting owners to take their pets to the vet without being able to search for an alternative. One owner was asked by the vet manager why she hadn't brought her new puppy down for vaccinations, which just rang alarm bells for me!"
05/08/2012: Jason M from Toronto, Ontario replies: "Hey guys I need your help I want to try out the honey Lemon and hp ( hydrogen peroxide) but I'm not sure which hp to use? I found the food grade one but it was 35% I noticed a lot of you are using 3% is that the normal one used for cuts out of the brown bottle??? PLEASE HELP"
