1. Gixxer/15/male
2. Neutered
3. Mix: English bulldog, husky, boxer
4. Approx. 55lbs
5. B/E - I noticed he has been more stressed than usual these past few months. It usually happens when my mom leaves the house because she is his main caretaker. (So from this i’m noticing i will help more with taking care of him because i am home 24/7). He also wants to go outside in the backyard a lot more. He has lots of energy though! Way more than last year. He is able to trek through deep snow now and climb up the stairs whereas last year he had trouble. He also sleeps well when he is sleeping.
A - he eats well usually but past two days he has been eating less. He usually cleans his bowl every time but past 2 days he eats maybe 3/4 of it.
M - he seems stressed and sad, he has this drowsy look on his face but again like i mentioned above, he still has energy he is not lethargic. And the bone on the top of his head is becoming more noticeable so it makes him look sad.
6. We feed him raw grass fed beef, boiled chicken soup with parsley and celery in it and a side of steamed sweet potato and broccoli. I also give him a heaping tbsp of honey a day. He drinks really well too.
7. He’s gotten the vaccinations from when he was a pup. He had kidney stones before. And also had to go under for a teeth clean a year ago.
8. So the cough started months ago. But i was treating it with raw honey and propolis and it went away temporarily but then it came back again. The past 2 days i’ve noticed it being a LOT worse. Like in the middle of the night he needs to go outside because of it. It’s usually when he is laying down and sometimes when he is standing up. Today when he coughed i’m not sure if he coughed up blood or leftover liquids from his food since his food is red. I also remember my mom twisted his collar months ago to stop him from swallowing food from outside on the floor that he isnt suppose to eat. Not sure if thats related.
9. I don’t notice a shift when applying what is mentioned. I know he feels better when i pet him and of course when i walk him. It’s just this nasty cough he has it sounds like he wants to throw up but can’t.
10. No and i don’t plan on it because my vet was no help last time he got sick and you guys helped heal him! There is a holistic vet in the area but it’s a long time to become a patient there.
11. No treatment has been done. The last treatment he had was on his mouth being put under to do a deep clean for his gums and teeth which was last year.
12. The main concern is if this is kennel cough or something worse? I’ve heard people in the mm community mention they heal their dogs kennel cough by doing propolis shock therapy. Can this be confirmed please. @Dr. Jeff @Dr. Christina
