Question
Hello there, I have a Boston Terrier that has developed a cough and nose is running all the time and he reverse sneezes quite often too.  I have had him checked out from end to end and they are saying it's Bronchitis.  What could I give him that is not narcotic to help his congestion?

Answer
I am surprised that your vet didn't prescribe some sort of medicine for your dog to make life a bit easier for him. I think I would go to a different vet and get a second opinion. Your dog could be developing pneumonia. Here are a couple articles on brontitis.
