2 months ago, the dog was purchased. She had coughing but was treated by Vet 1 with antibiotics but without recovery. The dog's owner was referred to Toa Payoh Vets by her sister as the dog had generalised ringworm. 

This video shows that the anti-ringworm treatment is effective after 16 days of medication. See video  Pt 1/2.
Today, Oct 2, 2017 is 16 days after the consultation with Toa Payoh Vets. The dog had recovered 99% from ringworm (see Video

But the coughing is still present but less frequent.

This is a rare case of COMPLICATED kennel cough. Most dogs recover within 14 days of infection but this dog is still coughing 60 days after infection. 

The dog wore a shirt which is washed every 2 days. So, two ringworm spots were still present as seen visually and by ultraviolet light.

The dog is still active and is being treated for another 2 weeks for ringowrm spots on neck area and chest. The coughing is much less. 

In conclusion, the dog had several viruses and bacterial infection when purchased. The dog had generalised ringworm. She should recover in 3 months' time.
