I don't know what my little Bruiser had about six weeks ago, but she did the cough/sneeze thing too. It was terrible for about a week. I'm a nurse, so I kept listening to her lungs. They stayed clear. So it was definitely a URI. But we have a number of other dogs, and none of them got sick. Bruiser doesn't really go any where so I don't know where she got it. It started clearing up after about a week, and took about another week to clear completely. She never had a fever, and I don't know if it was kosher or not, but I made the same cough medicine for her as I did my children. Honey, lemon juice, and a wee bit of whisky. It definitely helped. :)
