How long a puppy’s cough lasts depends on the cause and the treatment’s effect. Common causes include bacterial and viral respiratory infections. A mild bacterial cough may heal in 3 to 7 days, while a viral cough such as distemper or parainfluenza usually needs over two weeks and some puppies cannot be cured.
In severe viral cases the puppy may die.
