how much Robitussin should give my 7 lb puppy? People say thathis helps there cough

Did you check with your vet on that? I didn't know you could give that to a dog. Your vet would also know the correct doseage for medicines. I would make sure you know why he is coughing before you try to supress the cough. Some coughs are productive and necessary to clear the lungs, else all that sludge just sits in their lungs.

This is so he coughs all that junk up

I agree - check with your vet before doing anything.

Robitussin is a cough suppresant not an expectorant.
