Coughing, Gagging and Choking in Dogs Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments

[@Kenshai89]

I know right? My puppy is making a sound that make me think if it’s coughing or sneezing. and that’s what I’ve expecting for this video to see how’s it sound like to determine the sounds of their coughing or gaggling and if they have allergies.

I have a 13 year old Chihuahua she had a gagging cough when I took it to the doctor. He said she was in heart failure. Now she’s on three different medication’s two different heart pills and one the diuretic pill. She doing well now with no gagging.

[@krakenhits1587]

My dog's a bit older to probably 12 to 13 and he's been progressively getting worse with his gagging and coughing constantly. Was your dog doing it for a long time before you got a treatment?

[@justinderek5086]

Did your dog have seizures Also? I have a 14 year old mix and he is having problems just breathing now along with the kennel cough

[@krakenhits1587]

@@justinderek5086 No seizures, he was coughing a lot when he was done drinking water. Then it seemed to become a habit he was doing it all the time. I did take him to the vet they said his trachea is narrow and they prescribed hydrocodone. I gave it to him for 4 to 5 days twice a day and it seemed to really work. He now does it once in awhile but not constantly. I think the hydrocodone which is a cough suppressant gave him enough of a break for him to feel some relief and now he doesn't do it all the time.

[@dawnsreviews7205]

Trachael coughs are also caused by using only collars on small to medium dogs..as they pull on their leash they can ruin the trachea..that is why there are harnesses. This advice was given by two veterinarians I have dealt.

[@GMKDP]

I think that's the cause of my poor Aussie coughing today. Thanks for your advice will stick to harness....hope she gets better...

Never used a collar on my small dog. It is very common in very small dogs. He developed it around 5 years.

[@dawnsreviews7205]

@@nancypeterson7708 we switched right away upon the veterinarian suggestion since she had seen trachea collapses due to it. We did not want to take a chance. Sorry your furbaby is experiencing coughing. Five years old is still fairly young.

@@dawnsreviews7205 she's better now! She's also 50 pounds so she's probably not too prone to trachea collapse but, still if I'm going to keep her on a leash for a while I'll be using harness. I believe she just had a sickness basically.

The reason my wife and I clicked on this video so fast, is because we need to hear the coughs. What are you doing? You taught us nothing except that dogs cough. If I made a video about what different diagnosable sounds a baby makes it is choking vs a heart problem etc, and didn't include the difference in sound....? I'd feel really inadequate. If my dog dies tonight, it will NOT be your fault OF COURSE. But I actually needed help in this situation "Top Dog Tips." He's at the vet now, we'll see how it goes.

Watch Dr Andrew Jones, Veternary Secrets. He has alot of videos, is a holistic vet. My 10 yr old Beagle sounds like she has bronchitis. It's not its been going on all year and I have 4 dogs and none of them cough. Took her to vet, they did nothing. Watched Dr Jones video, made the syrup and her coughing has been reduced. Manuka Honey, Slippery Elm, water. I also bought HomeoPet for cough on Amazon. I'm not a vet, watch the videos, use your judgment. I m taking her back to another vet and may do x-rays.

My dogs been doing this for a month now he is taking three different medications and it’s not helping I think I’m gonna have to do X-rays I feel so bad for him is there anything I can do to help ease his cough

[@patriciashelton6644]

Occasionally my dog will gag an a little yellow bile comes up then he's fine. I took him to the vet,x rays, tests for heartworm and Pavo was done. Everything looked fine. Think it's where he pulls too much on his leash at times. He wants to play tug of war with it. He chewed his harness up,now I got to buy another. She suggested Hills wet food. I can't afford fifteen dollars a day,so I make his food. He's doing great. I don't even discuss that I make his food with the vet,yet I Kno it has more meat and organ meat ( liver) plus vegetables than any brand of dogfood. Why do dogs have so much trouble these days? Our yard dogs back in the day never got sick until they got really old. Then they just slowed down and would eventually pass.

[@wesman7837]

Because they are subjected to so many chemicals these days just as we are! There are so many chemicals in the water, in the air, and in our foods that it is making people and animals alike very ill!

I have a pug with collapse traquea . she sometimes coughs for more than a hour and the veterinarean says theres no cure or surgery for that. I literally cant sleep with her doing that for long periods of time and shes getting worse even Im desperately asking for a solution to this

[@jeanne819]

I am sorry your pug is coughing so much - my 13 year old pug is coughing intense and gags every day multiple times- I brought her to vet who did nothing to help her cough (that was reason for my visit) and ended up hours in a vet ER at night to see what was going on and xrays done and could not conclude on them tracheal collapse. The ER vet gave a few cough pills but it is not indicated on bottle what they are. I can't get half a pill in my pug now as she detects the horror taste and smells it no matter what food it is disguised in. It is beyond stressful as you know and seek a quality vet and sadly, I am unable to locate one in my area. I am thinking a steroid injection or something to help ....... but most importantly, I need a correct diagnosis.

But he's coughing and gagging and there was white stuff up . He's eating and drinking water. He just had his yearly checkup and vaccinations a week and a half ago and yes he gets the kennel cough with his vaccinations even though he's not around other dogs never can be to safe... I've got him a Vet appointment in the morning but just wondering if maybe his shots could set something off with him. He's not even 5 years old yet

[@darkmandrin5889]

[@Games-qx8yg]

What is the medicine to this problem? Is it life threatening?

[@lauriesumner9134]

Just saw your message. Did the problem get resolved? Because my border collie Jake suddenly developed a cough, reverse sneezing and congestion. Overnight he went from a very healthy dog... Clean bill of health at his last physical a few months ago. He is also blind. He about quit eating last night (home-made chicken and rice) but is drinking. He seemed to show possible signs of nasal mites right before this started. I've been up 36 hours watching his breathing. Had a virtual appt with our vet this afternoon. Without an actual exam he can't be sure of the cause but suggested allergies could be a cause. I feel it's more like an infection (I'm actually a nurse) so I was able to get a prescription for an antibiotic and sterile nasal spray. I understand hesitancy about antibiotics but he's only had them 1 other time. I'd prefer being proactive so I'm hoping to see some progress by Monday. He's snoring at the moment.. he's exhausted.. and seems a LITTLE less congested and symptomatic so I'm praying this continues. I'm also praying for your border collie and all the dogs experiencing an illness right now. It's so much more difficult watching our 4-legged children be sick. They can't tell us how they're feeling and being sick is so scary and confusing to them. It's heartbreaking! Best wishes and good health to all who read this!

Actually my Border Collie Jasper sadly ended up with kennel cough after taking his yearly vaccine for it and was put on antibiotics and cough syrup with a painkiller in it that I had to go to the drug store to get filled for him. Honestly it come as a utter shock to me because both my babies stay current on their vaccines and are very well taken care of. My Vet said it could have happened due to an animal passing through on my property but my babies don't live outside and they still vaccinated up and I keep my property sprayed with Clorox water ...

But what seem to happen with my baby boy is that the kennel cough vaccine set it off in him and he's 5 years old and he's been getting the vaccine every year every since he was old enough ... It hasn't been because an animal came across my property because all my property is fenced in and I have all 3 acres sprayed with just about straight Clorox water and my two fur babies absolutely do not run loose on this 3 acres of land...

Coughing out phelm

[@lilyjameson5156]

I think it's irresponsible of you to say that "outside of Texas and Florida, chances of your dog getting heartworm is not super high, but it's possible." Look at a map online of where heartworm disease is prevalent. It's in many more states than just Texas and Florida! "In the United States, heartworm disease is most common along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from the Gulf of Mexico to New Jersey and along the Mississippi River and its major tributaries, but it has been reported in dogs in all 50 states." Responsible owners need to put their dogs on a monthly heartworm preventative to make sure they are protected. It only takes one mosuito bite to infect your dog. Heartworm disease can be fatal. It's horrible, and the treatment is very uncomfortable for the dog, as well as very expensive for the owner. This sometimes leads to the dog being euthanized because the owner can't afford treatment, so it's very serious in many ways!
