First time I tried this product.She was coughing for 3 weeks at nigh time & as soon as I gave her the syrup I could see the difference. It only lasted 3 days & everything was fine. Very effective & luv it.
I ended up not giving my cat this product. First of all had I known it was for humans I would have gone to the drug store and bought it for half the price. Then when I opened it there was nothing in the box to administer it with. I expected a dropper. Tell me how you would give this to a cat in a spoon ? ? ? I felt betrayed and frustrated. I thought you had medicines for especially made for animals. I am very disappointed.

"It took some time gettin use to"
I have a 8wk old Pappom named Kobe. His been taking this product for maybe 3wks now, At first he didn't like the taste it took some time getting use to. I notice he coughs less, he would usually start to cough when he plays or right before he would bark. The times I would hate the most for my little guy is when he would try to sleep in the night and when he woke up in the mornings. Now nothing really, once every now and then. Oh yeah I would also put him every morning and night in a steam bathroom just to clear some of the congestion for like 5 mins.
Coughing and sneezing in cats can be caused by a number of things including allergies and respiratory infections. We recommend you contact your vet to determine what is causing the coughing and sneezing in your kitty.
Nectadyn is not a treatment for asthma. Nectadyn contains a mucolytic agent which helps dissolve thick mucus and works as an expectorant. It helps temporarily relieve wet and dry cough due to cold, flu, chest congestion, bronchitis, and environmental irritants. If your pet is suffering from asthma please consult your veterinarian for proper treatment.
My dog has been coughing for awhile now. Other than that, he feels fine. He is eating, drinking water, playing. He seems fine except for this cough, but he only does it now and then. Can anyone help?

A:
Take the dog to your vet and have it checked for kennel cough, heartworms, heart health, upper respiratory infection, and blockage. If all these are clear, it may be an allergy or auto-immune disease of some sort. My dog has a chronic cough and sounds like a post nasal drip. Very hard to treat. Nectadyne seems to calm her cough quickly.
Cough can be due to many different things including allergy, heartworm disease, heart disease or even a reaction to certain medications such as ACE inhibitors. I would recommend you have your pet examined by your veterinarian.
