Hi, my dog mindy has been coughing every day for the last week and it's like a deep cough with retching. usually she sounds really bad in the morning and during the day she doesn't cough as much she has been to the vet and was given cough medicine and some antibiotics a couple of times. Her coughing cleared up but it started back up again. she was also tested for heart worms which she didn't have I was wondering if it was kennel cough and if it is what can I give her to help her from coughing so badly Thank you Lisa Stuhr

That sounds exactly like Kennel Cough. One of our foster dogs came to us like that. He even retched up bile sometimes. It took about two weeks for him to get over it. You could wet down his food (if you feed dry) b/c his throat is irritated. And keep up with the cough syrup, it does help somewhat.
