It's a month later from the post below. I began using NAC at a very low dose for several days. I actually did see a decrease in her coughing gagging issues. So I decided to up the dose with even more success. A few weeks later I was telling a doggie lover friend about the NAC Yes! he said just keep increasing the dose until the problem stops but he also suggested adding Slippery Elm to relieve the irritation in the airways. It's over a month now and I have to tell you , this was a complete success. We went from a doggie who was constantly coughing/gagging to a peaceful life without the problem. Now I take one NAC capsule and add one Slippery Elm capsule in a small container and mix them together. That is her daily dose broken into 2 times a day. She gets a 1/2 in the early am with her soft boiled egg and the rest later in the day with her dinner. If I hear any excessive choking coughing I just give her a small portion more of an open NAC capsule. And in a few minutes it stops. SUCCESS...... TY Dr. Jones for giving us options, this one is a winner for us.
I am so appreciative of the advice you give in your videos. My sweet basset hound Frank has bronchitis and the vet was very thorough and prescribe him with an antibiotic, but I wanted to do more to help him feel more comfortable and help him get through this better. I've been in his boat a time or two so I know how Frank feels. I'm glad your here to help with a more holistic route, since my vet really doesn't or can't inform me of things to do to help my pet holistically. Again thank you.
I have a 12 year old husky who over he last year developed a chronic cough, x-rays, bloodwork, everything comes back negative, but they never really give a solution or any ideas to help her condition, they just continue to want to point out other unresltef things in order to try and get my money. I am conflicted.
My dog had a short groom in February, but had his heavy coat for most of the winter. I didn't put a coat on him and he now has a chest sound like congestion. I've found a solution with your videos. Thank you!
When my dog ( now passed due to a booster ) had pneumonia I would fill the bath with really hot steaming water. Block off any air escape places. Then do coupage and let her breath the steam in It worked really well. So glad you mentioned it.
I have been told that all essential oils, including eucalyptus is extremely toxic for dogs so I worry about conflicting advice. What should I do, are you able to say for sure that essential oils aren’t toxic?
Thank you Dr Andrew I am a widow who can t afford a lot of tests for my pinky girl you are a big help I think she has bronchitis I will try these things on her the smoke has been brutal here we have had to stay in here in bend oregon
Can you tell me why my dog is coughing right after drinking water please??? Im worried because he does not want to drink water because of it . He is thirsty but is very uncomfortable after drinking and scared before .
I really like Yur videos , I believe in holistic meds. My vet always wants to push meds , meds , and more meds. I’m on social security , don’t have all this money. Thank-You. Keep Yur videos coming. My fog does have heart disease , plus collapsed trachea . He came from Georgia very abused , was used for breeding. Thank-You.
Definitely going to try. My dog is currently experiencing chronic bronchitis. Vet gave her predisolone however it has an adverse reaction in her. She's a old dog so I stopped it because she became really ill.
I adopted my dog from the shelter. She came home with a very light cough i didn't notice it hardly. She now has this hacking almost vomiting cough. She eats well and drinks loves her walks and plays still. Just the cough sounds so bad now. Im going to try this thank you.
Can we also use peppermint oil for a diffuser or humidifier? For both of them thank you and may God bless you I'll be eagerly waiting for your response
My 10 year old Pittie mix was just diagnosed with asthma, per a chest x-ray. This probably explains why she struggles while going for walks in warm weather. She just poops out. On today's walk, she was sneezing and coughing, so I'm going to give her Benadryl per the vet's recommendation. I'm looking for ways to calm reactive airways, so today was very helpful. Thank you!
I had visited 4 different veterinarians hospitals to get rid of my Pomeranian 4.5 lbs and I spent more money unbelievable. They said she was fine but she died at the age of 9.8 and I am devastated over her lost. Never could be replaced.

I like the natural way that you feed us. The problem I have with your video's The the audio is not good. It may be my IMAC? But I try the best I can. Thank you very much, Doc. Jones. Lots of good things.
Stumbled upon you after my 11 year old GS/lab mix was diagnosed with bronchitis/possible early stage pneumonia. She has been eating, drinking, bathroom normally, acting normally. But a couple months ago she out of the blue started snoring, at night and eventually even when she was just kinda laying there 😴 I just figured it was normal at first, she’s aging, 3-5 lbs overweight (the vet said). She also seemed to get very easily winded when exercising but it’s been a long winter of lounging around! 🤪 I thought she was out of shape a little. But a couple weeks ago I noticed she sounded congested (like we would with an infection). She’s had a couple reverse sneezing fits and very mild coughing. So I got her into the vet as fast as I could with all this vivid stuff going on. My first question that the vet didn’t answer is if it’s bronchitis/pneumonia, I thought that was something that came on kinda suddenly and worsened quickly. At least in us we don’t just snore for months (no coughing etc) Did she have it the whole time she was snoring? Months? I feel awful for letting it go that long 💔 I just didn’t put it all together bc she was acting so normally! At first the vet told me it was bad and she thought she had histoplasmosis/blastomycosis but after blood work came back perfect she (and I) were extremely relieved it wasn’t that (she’s 95 % sure). Second question, since I started the meds 2 days ago she seems a tiny bit worse (winded just walking, just sounding worse) are the meds breaking that up like their supposed to and it’s kind of a “it might sound worse bf it clears up” kinda thing? (Doxycycline, Treophylline and prednisone, sound right/efficient in your opinion?) And would oxygen help or is it not necessary? Is that something I can do on my own? Anyway, thank you for the tips I’m looking for ways to supplement regular veterinary care. I want my baby to feel better fast. I’m so worried. I’m going to def do as many of the ideas you have here as I can find. Any advice/knowledge/feedback u could give on my post would be so greatly appreciated 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 You guys are so amazing! (Vets) and your so kind to offer us expertise freely like you do 🥰 oh, I have bonfires frequently now that the weather is good is the smoke a bad idea for her right now? She seems to always lay away from where it’s blowing, around the perimeter (not close by) but if I shouldn’t have her near it I will keep her in. Just wondering bc I read about irritants causing all this in the first place. 😢
Hello Where can i get all of your drops honey supplements vitamins and just everything you use for your dog please? Also for a few things that iv never giving my dog . How will i know if he is not allergic or not ?? Thank you for making these videos 🙏😊
Hi I need some help and Dr. Andrew Jones is there any way you can help me. I have a 10 year old golden retriever who according to the vet was diagnosed with lung cancer😪😪 I know you have a video on using dewormer and I need instructions on how to use it and if I could have a video consultation with you and if I can how much. I need help on how to help my baby boy
Thank you so much for helping other's and their pet's. I'm a pet lover and have bred a few different kinds of dog's throughout my life. I raised police sheppard's, and they were trained for police officer's basically, they were such a beautiful breed. Now I breed peekapoo's and they are absolutely awesome, my puppies will be here the 2nd week of May,2023, and I can't wait to see them. Of course I will have to help in the delivery of all the puppies, due to their underbite. I love these beautiful puppies, they are one of the best pest to have if their owners have allergies, cuz these pets are considered hypoallergenic dog's, and poodle's are good as well with someone with allergies to. But one of my peekapoo has developed Bronchitis, and she has developed this in her older age, and I have used your techniques that you have posted, and I want to thank you so very ,very much for all your post, you saved me so much money and possibly a wrong diagnosis, in which I have gotten by a veteran before, not to say all veterans would do this. I was raised around all different kinds of animals and I alway's watched my dad operate on horse's and care for other animal's that were sick. So I am the veteran in my household, but if it's something I don't know I definitely take them to see the veteran. So I don't suggest everyone should try to help their animal's especially if they don't have the knowledge of how to care for them in the proper way. I learned from my dad and a veteran that was my dad's friend. I was raised on a farm as well, so that played a huge part in learning how to care for animal's as well, plus I was a very curious child as well!! Anyways I think you are absolutely awesome for trying to teach people on how to cure animal's without having to pay a high price for a veteran to do something pet owners can do from home. And your remedy for that Bronchitis was wonderful, and I'm so happy I stumbled upon your post, she still has Bronchitis at different times but other than that she is just fine, and of course I use your remedy for it as well!! So I thank you so very, very much!! God Bless you and your family, and may he keep all of you safe and healthy, in Jesus name I pray Amen, 🙏❤PJ
My friend's dog is struggling to breath, intermittently. ( miniture pincher or manchester terrier mixed, around 10-13 years ) He gasps for air, straining his rib cage, won't breath through his mouth, sensitive nose, and falling asleep standing up because laying makes breathing harder. Walking actually helps. Last 2 X-rays show nothing significant. Trachea looks straight enough, not collapsed. Heart might be slightly enlarged. Lots of air or gas pockets in his bowels. His vets are stumped and recommend a cardiologist. Maybe Pulmonary Hypertension ? All the local Internists and Cardiologists are booked up for weeks. We are so worried he won't make it.
Hello CHR1S, my 15 year min-pin mix has very similar symptoms. Doctor can’t figure out the problem too. Did your friend ever figure out what was the issue please? I hope you had a happy ending. I’m scared and my heart aches for the suffering of my dear, dear friend.
@@mimicry100 Sorry for the delay. He ended up being diagnosed with Laryngeal Paralysis. The original vet should have suspected this, but it is not common in small dogs. My friend paid over $12K USD for a Laryngeal tie back procedure, which basically sews half of it open. He was like a new dog after that, just couldn't bark. Sadly he died a couple months later. Probably kidney failure, old age issues. I suspect it could have been food poisoning. Surgeon didn't mention his kidney numbers were too bad until after the surgery of course. I think your doggy MIGHT need to be put under anesthesia and a scope put down their throat to see what they can see. It's pricey. Get a 2nd opinion. My friend wasted a lot of money with many vet visits that got her no where, before going to a better dog surgical center, who diagnosed it faster with the scope.
Hi, I had read that the scent of eucalyptus was poisonous to dogs. Could you please clarify if there is a certain type or if that was just false information.
I have a question regarding the licorice. I know you said to give it only to your pet 5-7 days. Would it be safe if I give it to my dog (who has chronic bronchitis) every month but only 5-7 days in the month or is it not recommended? Thank you!
Eucalyptus is known to be toxic to dogs and many vets say the scent is extremely irritating to their sensitive noses. Remember how much more sensitive they are than us to smells, and small dogs/puppies especially cannot tolerate it well. Very surprised at this recommendation.
What i do not understand is about the eucalyptus oil. I-ve read that eucalyptus oil is bad for dogs. My dog has a cough, and i am removing all the possible allergens from the house. I just threw away a few branches of eucalyptus. Now I am puzzled about this eucalyptus thing....
Hello, i have an 11 years old beagle, he has a chronic bronchitis ( he is all the Day caughing) and they told us there is nothing to do as he is an old dog. We have tried different antibiotics and nothing works so they told us to use the injection but we wont do that because the dog os very Healthy for the rest (he loves playing running eating) and we keep looking for things! If you know something that could help 🙏🏻 let us know🖤

PLEASE HELP. my dog has chronic bronchitis. often suffocates. we have an air fan, a humidifier, twice a day takes corticosteroids. it chokes more and more. once a week we go to the vet, she receives injections (oxantil, dexadresone). PLEASE HELP, PLEASE FOR ANY ADVICE ON BREATHING IT BREATHING. I don't want euthanasia! He just enjoys life ..... Thank you ...
I’m going to try the humidifier in my bedroom before bed with the eucalyptus oil in I have a question tho my cat is a house cat and sleeps in the same room is it safe to use this with her in the same room? Thanks Emma
does the NAC have to be in liquid form. or can we just divide up the capsule to get the approximate amount. Is it fine to give it in powder form mixed well with food? I did it last night that way
The vet recommended my dog prednisone (1/2 tab once per day) for life since his bronchitis seems to come back after treatment… I’m no expert but I’m trying to find a natural remedy instead. Thoughts on prednisone veterinary secrets?
Hey there! Just found your video, my young 2.5 dog has been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis he is perfectly healthy otherwise, I have been going down the holistic route and have been using wild cherry bark syrup and have noticed a massive massive improvement , I have also purchased inula helenium to to try if needed, I was wondering if you had any input on these ? And also would you say my dog will be able to live a normal life expectancy (he’s my baby) ! Thanks so much x
Can bronchitis from heart worm be treated? It’s been 6 months now and my dog tested negative so treatment worked but now she does this cough hear and now. Vet prescribed some antibiotics and X-rays shows a little inflammation. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. Some vets DO care for the well being of animals while others just care for their well being of their own pockets. Hard to find vets like you. I will try the couping and steam right away. Thank you! .I have been giving her honey mixed with a little bit of turmeric and also some CBD oil. Not sure if it is helping. She has coughing fits about 4 times a day (for the past two days). She is napping now. I am also giving her Clavamox twice a day just in case. Today is day #2 of treatment. I believe hers is kennel cough. Started about two weeks ago with just mild coughing every now and then. Yesterday she was even having the honking at the end of the coughing which worried me. I haven't heard honking today thank God.
My vet took an x-ray and blood they ruled out heart worming all that other stuff they said they could not pinpoint what is causing the lung disease how can they not if it took an x-ray
Hi Doc. What do you think of bronchial dilators...theophylline in particular? My dog is about 27lbs. She takes 75mg every 12 hours. I'm worried if it's harmful if used long term? Thank you in advance.
@@VeterinarySecrets my dog with chronic bronchitis will not respond to many Herbals I've tried. Reacts badly to pred. On butorphanol now for about 2 yrs is the only thing thats helped slightly. Any thoughts on this?
I have had to let my sweet girl Hope to rest. Now I am looking for a new Furever friend, at our local rescue they have a lab that has mild bronchitis (sounds like a “honk” when he breathes)and is on medication should this be any cause of not considering rescuing him?
Hello Doctor, is it okay to give any honey? I Have 3kg yorkshire. Agat honey is ok? Agát is in english babul tree, Black locust, Cape gum? Domt know how .. is that honey okay?
Dr.Jones,my senior westie has been wheezing and I wonder if he has bronchitis or lung disease. The vet gave clavamox ,it helping slightly wheezing but when finished clavamox start wheezing on and off . They did x ray and his heart little bit expand . Westie common with Westie lung disease. He has no heart murmur but when he lie down he is breathing with his chest on the muscle. Maybe make his heart expand because his lungs don’t enough oxygen. What of your thought? He doesn’t cough but wheezing a lot.
If a person is very I'll, and hes putting germs all in and around his area, can a dog who won't leave his side get sick ? I really need to know this because he is developing a cough .
Hi Doctor I literally just found your channel and I'm so happy that I did this is very good advice . I'm currently dealing with this my dog gets a bad cough his a 10 bound chihuahua and his been having roubles breathing we took him to the vet and he does have a few health problems so we do give him medication to control them but for this cough they didn't really tell us much so this is very helpful thank you. For the dosages for 10 pound dog I can just cut them I'm half right? Anyways thank you 😊 ..please if there's more advice let me know I appreciated 😊
Hello! Is there a specific brands that you recommend? I tried finding the licorice but the ones I've found are either licorice by itself or with marshmallows, chamomile, ginger ect. I'm just now learning about holistic options....
Hello, could u say in drops how many of drops od licorice and dandellion ? My one doesnt have messure. Is IT fine when licorice contains 28 percent alkohol? My dog is 13 years old 6.3 kg. Kind regards
Hello my five pound chi has been sounding like she has fluid when she’s breathing. I have always thought it was her snoring but it happens even when she’s awake. She was coughing for a day or two but now its gone. I need helpppp
Thank you for this video! M dog is 9 yrs old and 30lbs and has bronchitis. I have purchased the NAC capsule form which has a powder dosage of 500 mg per which i can break down to 50mg per 10lbs. but what is the best way to administer? Dilute with water, powder with food? Thank you in advance!
Thank you so much for this! My Chihuahua was diagnosed with CHF 2 years ago and been on Lasix and Enalpril...I took her to 2 other vets who both stated she was misdiagnosed (after x-rays, ultrasound etc) and she has been taking Baytril and liquid Hycodan for close to a month with some improvement after being diagnosed with chronic bronchitis...is it okay to give her the honey long term after she's done with meds? Thank you!
@@mileyfan890ify My chihuahua had really shallow breathing one day, so we took her in after about a day of this ( they charged us double since it was a weekend...awesome) and she had a cardiogram( to check the heart) and they ended up diagnosing her with pulmonary hypertension which causes poor lung blood circulation. So they prescribed Viagra ( or sildenafil generic ) to get that her blood pumping to her lungs . Just know that a cardiogram is probably gonna run you around $500, robbery frankly.. But the meds aren't expensive and it helps. Goodluck to you! Btw try getting insurance , it might be a big help if you expect shes gonna need some expensive tests run.
@veterinary secrets Dr. I need your help I love your videos and I believe you can help me and my mom with our golden retriever or how to help him with lung cancer 😪
My dog had a pneumonia and is having trouble breathing. The vet put her on amoxicillin for kennel cough but the meds had no effect and it progressed to a pneumonia. Does anyone at all know of a bronchodilator i can use to help her breath. I just adopted her from the pound and shes already my world please help
THANKS DR. Jones so much for your response...will try honey with it!!!! He loves it with Ghee but will try!!!!! He has a chip that is silicon coded and I think he is like me with lots of inflammation!!!!! I say like me: had silicon breast implants twenty five yr.s ago and am suffering with lots of inflammation since; want to try Rosemary but waiting for my health food guy to get it... he has to make sure it does not have any kind of silicon in it!!!!! Also had lime which contributes to it also, and now found out that Rock has Lime too!!! He is showing no signs of problems with that so I would like to not treat with with antibiotic unless necessary he had s lot of GI problems when we first rescued him!!!!! Like me also!!!!!😫
Joan Mencl Whoah I cannot believe I’m reading this!! I’ve pondered the connection of my dogs health problems to his chip after discovering about Breast Implant Illness as well. I’m so sorry to hear about your dog having lime but I have read a lot of women with implants also get diagnosed with it (Yolanda Hadid)...then improve after explantation. I’m definitely going to look into getting the chip out of my dog as he has a bunch of mysterious symptoms that the cardiologist can’t figure out. All started with a cough and turned out he has an enlarged heart. No improvement except with constant meds that suppress it. Sounds all to familiar to BII. Let me know if you de chip!
I wish that you show the products what you are using. There are so many poor quality product on market. We could void unnessary problems by not using it.
hi my healthy dog does this thing only when it is really cold outside, we will go out to the bathroom, and come back inside, once shes inside, she like looses control of her legs, starts mildly coughing and will fall down. why? she is a pitbull and doesn't have much fur, but wares a sweater. also she is asthmatic . she has a rabies shot appointment next month so i will be asking them about this, but this has happened to her 2 times this week, its been crazy cold windy here in nh, and this has maybe happend like 4 other times in the past 8 years all in the winter time
