What anti-inflammatory medication should I take for my dog’s cough?

Dogs should not be too nervous if they have a mild cough as coughing helps to clear the respiratory tract of phlegm and foreign bodies and is a protective response. Cough suppressants should not be used for mild coughs or when there is phlegm present. For severe and frequent coughs, dry coughs without sputum or frequent coughs induced by diseases outside the respiratory tract (e.g. pleurisy), cough suppressants should be used promptly. Care must be taken in treating your dog’s cough that he is not given stimulating food and that he is given nutritious food. He should be given plenty of warm water and should not be given raw or cold food. Also pay special attention to whether your dog has distemper, after all, one of the signs of distemper is also a cough.
