Zeke has been coughing a lot lately, and I'm worried. I had him to the vet recently and they weren't too sure. We got medication for lungworm and nasal mites. I started him on the medication maybe 2-3 days ago. I think he's getting worse, not better. I'm calling the vet tomorrow but I'm worrying like crazy right now so does anyone know if it just takes a while to treat if it's lung worm? I'm not sure which meds are for what...but I have 3 bigger tablets that he takes once a week for 3 weeks. And smaller tablets which he gets once a day.
I was looking on this website:

He does seem to be depressed lately. Not eating as much, and normally he can run and keep up with Clover but I took them both out the other day and he just got really tired and stopped running. I thought it's just cause he's older. (9)
I don't think the vet was too sure it was lungworm, but wanted to treat just in case. I don't think it's kennel cough. He usually has "fits" for maybe 10-15 seconds. Then he'll be ok for a while. It just seems to be lasting longer.
I'm trying to get a video of it but of course now that I'm trying he's not doing it. I don't know how to explain it other then he's coughing a lot. I'm praying it's nothing but since I've lost 2 pets in the last 3 months I'm thinking the worst. When I took Kiba in a couple weeks ago I was thinking she'd be fine and she wasn't.
Sorry to panic.
