I just adopted a miniature pincher 3 weeks ago... when I got him I saw he was sneezing some... now he is coughing a dry cough and is acting like he is going to throw up but doesn't.. the lady who I got the dog from said that he has been fine but under weight because her son didn't take proper care of him... I read online that giving him honey will help and a vet I spoke to said I could give him a squirt of cough serape... but now it seems that my dog is coughing even more.. what can I do to help him get better...
