  1. Thanks Dr. Jones. My dog has had a very strange coughing/hacking/almost vomiting condition for the past 4 weeks. I've taken her to the veterinary clinic 2 times, given a steroid and anti-histamine which did nothing to help. It was a serious cough that had me and hubs both very alarmed and concerned. I've been treating her for the past 2 weeks with: ivermectin, fenbendazole, olive leaf extract, NAC, CBD oil, cod liver oil, golden paste (turmeric), quercetin and vitamins. She is getting better but it's a long haul. She went for an entire day yesterday without coughing but last night in bed she had a bad one. I have to hold her up on all 4's until it's past. She still eats well, and seems to be her usual self except for this strange powerful hacking. I'll try the slippery elm, green tea and manuka honey next. Hubs and I are NOT jabbed (can't be shedding??) and never take our dogs out to parks. They live in the house and only go outside in the fenced in back yard. Where does this ailment come from??? Thank you for all your videos – they are extremely helpful.

  2. I take collagen peptide supplements. It occurred to me that cats might benefit from it too. So I googled and found they are selling collagen supplements for cats — But it is 4x the price for the human stuff. Why is this ? the ingredients look the same.

  3. ours had exactly the same sound as the dog at 2:13 in the video next to the shepherd. Some deep coughs followed by a dry retch, never brought anything up but obviously trying.
    WE USED honey and green tea and quercetin and she is 100% now, boogying around pretty good for 12 years old!

  4. First of all, thank you so much for all these videos and herbal suggestions. My dog developed a moderate cough in July of 2023. It then progressed to nasal congestion and large amounts of sticky phlegm coming out of her nose. We literally had to roll it on a Kleenex to get it out. Had to to our regular vet and then an internist. She's been on three different antibiotics, along with Zyrtec and now a steroid inhaler. Her cough is much better and so is the congestion, but she is still have tons of reverse sneezing (which actually seems to help her clear her congestion) and some running of her nose. Tests have revealed Pasteurella which has been treated with antibiotics but Pasteurella is still present (as confirmed by a recent culture). Still waiting for a fungal culture (we've already had negative results from a previous fungal culture). She continues to eat, poop normally, no change in her activity level. No fever, just reverse sneezing (several times a day) and runny nose. I'm just not sure if we should try an herbal remedy (primarily the one you suggest with the honey, Green Tea, and slippery elm). We see our vet in four days for a follow-up and results of culture. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We are thinking we will wait to see the vet and if there is no fungus, we will start the honey/greentea/slippery elm. God bless you, Dr. Jones.

  5. My dog developed this and struggled breathing and was not responding to doxycycline. It was terrifying. NYE I was in the ER with her with pneumonia and they put her on a stronger antibiotic with doxycycline. I also used herbal lung tinctures, echinacea tincture, NAC and manuka honey. She pulled through but I was so afraid I was gonna lose her 😢. Good luck to everyone out there.

  6. I’m confused – my dog has been diagnosed with an X-ray that he has collapsing tracheal- and we have been working with that for 2 months- he is much better- but sounds very similar. I did treat him with your treatments for kennel cough previously, and he seemed to get MUCH better- I think he had that on top of Collapsed trachea. Thank you doctor!

  7. My cat had something like this! I took her to the vet, but they couldn’t tell me exactly what she had. She couched up some really bad brown looking stuff. She couldn’t eat because she’d start couching again. I ended up putting her to sleep. I taped one episode of the couching. Not sure if I can download. My dog never got this from her. She stayed in the house all the time. He went to daycare. Probably she caught it from him, but he never had symptoms. I live in Kansas and this happened summer of 2023.

  8. I myself had had the same problem for about the last two months, I put it down to the lines in the sky. When the sky is clear so is my chest, I use quercetin, zinc, vit C, mullein. Elderberry is also excellent.

  9. The Mystery Dog Disease, What In The World Health Organization Could It Be? It's A Mystery ….

    "Terrorist attacks with biological and chemical warfare agents are increasing in frequency worldwide. Additionally, hazardous chemical accidents, illicit drug laboratories and intentional poisonings are potential sites for exposure to working dogs. Working dogs play a crucial role in law enforcement, military and search and rescue teams. Their intelligence, agility and strength make them ideal partners to be deployed to these natural disaster sites, terrorist attacks and industrial accidents. This, unfortunately, leads to increasing exposure to chemical and biological weapons and other hazardous substances. First responders have little to no training in emergency care of working dogs and veterinarians have very little training on recognition of the clinical signs of many of these agents. In order to ensure a rapid medical response at the scene first responders and veterinarians need a primer on these agents. Identifying a specific agent amidst the chaos of a mass casualty event is challenging. Toxidromes are a constellation of clinical and/or laboratory findings that allow for rapid identification of the clinical signs associated with a class of toxin and have been helpful in human medical triage. Focusing on a class of agents rather than on each individual toxin, allows for more expedient administration of antidotes and appropriate supportive care. This article reviews toxidromes for the most common chemical weapons with a special emphasis on clinical signs that are specific (and different) for canines as well as appropriate antidotes for working canines. To our knowledge, there are no publications describing toxidromes for working dogs."
