Have you ever heard of treating canine flu with phosphorous 30c? Do you recommend it? If not, what other homeopathic remedies would you suggest?

Yes, I have heard of this treatment. The efficacy is variable so I cannot say it is a 100% effective treatment. If you want to go the homeopathic route then it is worth a try. Here is a link you can refer to for dosing. They also recommend an alternative treatment if the phosphorus does not seem to be helping (nux vomica 30c). That treatment I am not familiar with.

At the end of the day, if your dog is ill I strongly recommend you work closely with your local vet to make a treatment plan. Antibiotics are often administered to dogs with the flu to prevent secondary infections from bacterial agents.
