thx for this vid my dog keeps getting a couch thats dry that lasts about 1 min every 3 days hes had it for about 3 months the vet said was to do with palate. but its good to know your vid gives good advice just incase hes wrong as did not major tests as he was otherwise healthy
My English Cocker Spaniel has a dry cough. The vet took an X-ray and found nothing definitive. He prescribed Claritin 10mg a day. However three months later the cough has, I think, become more frequent. The dog, Stormy, is 13 years old. He has a number of non malignant “fatty” tumors but I guess if he had tumors on his lungs they would have shown up on his X-ray. He has had teeth extracted in the past and is due for another teeth Cleaning and perhaps another extraction. I wondered if his poor teeth could create a need To cough. He eats well but i sleeps a lot and likes to take only very short walks.
My dog, Peanut Butter is getting old :( He’s around 12 years old. About 6 months ago this cough started, we noticed he would do it whenever he wanted attention though we still took him to the vet. They prescribed him some medicine without doing any tests just a physical exam. 6 months have gone by and our little buddy’s dry heaving and cough is getting really bad. It’s very hard for us right now, it’s clear to us that it’s gonna be time to say goodbye soon. 😭 He is such a good boy, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever mixed breed. We’re live pay check to pay check but we’re preparing financially to get this little guy to the vet this week and get the necessary test done. We are worried how his younger sister will react if it’s time for us to say goodby to him soon
I don't think your dog is coughing because he's looking for attention. My dog coughs when you start petting him or giving him attention and I'm pretty sure it's because it's increasing its heart rate (he has heart problems). Then again I'm no doctor just some a$$ho!3 on the internet, take what i say with a grain of salt
My dog has been having a harsh cough for like 4 years now. I’ve tried everything natural and nothing works. It’s mostly when she moves around or they pick her up. It’s like 5 coughs and then one big one and a gag at the end. It’s every day. She still eats her food. Drinks her water. Runs around. She a miniature pincher. She’s 13 years old.
This sounds like my dog. He’s a GSD mix and has a harsh cough too. When he lays down he’s okay. But sometimes when he lays down he’s got snotty nose and can’t breathe and wakes up to reverse sneeze. My vet has no clue. He we tried ruling out things, even acid reflex. Nothing but steroids have helped, but he’s worried about his liver with those. I have gotten a diagnosis of “weird” “chronic bronchitis” “allergies” “mild form of Copd”
My dog does the same thing. He also has a raspy or noisy breathing when he gets excited. The most likely thing I can find is LarPal and gonna make him an appointment with the vet.
Currently dealing with this with my senior rescue (a doxie who came from a rough situation). More than two vets said it’s definitely not her heart. I’ve had X-rays, blood tests, you name it. They don’t know. Her lungs are clear. They’re sorta just throwing different scripts at me now to try. Today I started her on hydrocodone/homatropine…all it’s done as of a few hrs later is made her extra tired. My poor dog is suffering and I’m stressed out. About to go back to the vet now to get the temaril-p refilled as backup over the weekend because that seems to work a little better than this new med and I just want it as a backup over the weekend in case I don’t see any relief after a day or so. My vet doesn’t know; I don’t know. It’s upsetting. Please reply here if you’ve made any headway on your pups’ situations.
@@tiffanysmith4153Oh my god same, my Siberian husky is only 3 and has been having this issue for about a year now, they don’t know what’s wrong with her and steroids is the only thing that helps her. Tried to take her off them because it was piling the weight on her and the issues came back
Thank you for the information - however it would be much better to see examples of the coughs. I've just taken a video of my dog's cough to take to the vet - I'm sure you have access to lots of these which would be really helpful!
I went to the vet for his cough ! Given antibiotics for “Lyme” positive test & Gabapentin for teeth pain!! Recommended EXPENSIVE X-ray & even more expensive Dr. X-ray Reader!!! I can’t afford xrays & Reader !! My dog needs help & I cannot believe $ 2,000 for possibly finding why he’s coughing! Not a certainty !! Any Advice? Thanx for this great video
My dog now does not cough when I give him piriteze anti allergy tablet one in the morning helps him so much it might work with your dog to hope he /she gets well soon x
Both of my senior dogs (rat terrier 12 yrs, pug 14 yrs) have a recurring cough over the summer that's come back. It's like: cough- cough - cough - hack like a hairball. My terrier had all his labs check and has slightly elevated liver enzymes and is now on a supplement. With both, it seems to happen more in the morning and at night, when we're out for a walk (if they pull on leash or get too excited). No change in appetites. Happy and seemingly healthy otherwise. 🤷♀️
Hi Doctor, Love your video. My almost 11 year old Shihpoo was diagnosed with reverse cough years ago. Over the last year or so, he will frequently cough or hack with his mouth wide open until a small amount of white, or foamy, liquid is spit up. He also licks frequently during these episodes. He wears a harness, not a collar. No smoking in the house, he’s not overweight, he’s on a diet for 11+ dogs. I think I’m going to take a video so when he has a vet appointment I can show them what his episodes look like. Anything else I should do, or insights? Thank you!
Hi, I have a 3 month old chihuahua that recently started reverse sneezing and he also has a dry cough that happens about 3 times a day, it's not a loud cough. He does not cough while running or when he gets excited, it usually happens when he is sleeping or sitting.
Hey Karla. Young dogs that are in contact with other dogs are very susceptible to Kennel cough which is basically like an upper airway infection. It could potentially also be something like tracheal collapse, so I would advise to take him to a vet to be properly examined.
My dog Wicked is coughing right now. It’s a very soft huff noise occasionally followed by a gag. He’s vaccinated against kennel cough, and takes heartworm medicine. He’s a 4 year old Cairn Terrier. He only does it in the evening for a few hours, and has recently started snoring. I’m hoping it’s just really bad allergies. We’re calling our vet tomorrow.
Hey Eris. It is good that he's vaccinated and taking his heartworm medication, as that already rules out two possible causes. Your vet will know best what the cause may be after doing a clinical examination, but based off of the symptoms you described and the type of breed, there is a chance that he might have tracheal collapse, which can be fairly easily managed medically. :)
Dogtor Pete Here’s the update on Wicked! We just got the call back from his vet, and he does have a very mild case of bronchitis. He’s been put on antibiotics, and should get better soon! Thank you for everything Dogtor Pete! :)
@@ninakara585 Wicked is doing really well! The medicine helped him, but if it seems like it’s not helping your dog I think it’d be a good idea to call your vet and let them know just in case. Our vet told us that exercise would also help clear out his lungs, and that also seemed to work (just a bit of play, if he gets too winded you should stop). Again I’d just do a little check in with your vet over the phone just to make sure things are going smoothly.
My dog is constantly coughing like he’s choking and trying to cough out something, it started when he ran away for 2 days and it rained for that 2 days then we found him in a pound (even possibly he could get a virus or sort there (poor ventilation) When we got home back that happened he’s an old dog maybe 10 years minimum I found out my dad gave him a little Idk a teaspoon or less of night quill (which is VERY TOXIC to dogs my dog is a small chihuahua) I told my dad to stop and he did but I don't think he's going to take him to the vet because of how expensive it is. I just don't know what to do I hope my dog survives though. 😕
@Dogtor Pete My 3 year old Beagle has just started coughing usually for 20-30 seconds once or twice a day. Vet said he has reverse cough and gave anti-inflammatory. Got him home and now the last few days he also sounds like he is snoring softly when he is asleep and grunting softly like a pig when sniffing around. Sleeping a lot. But being a Beagle he is never going to be refusing food.
@@laurenpitts1449 Hey took him back to the vet in the end and he had some slight infection in his nose so it was nothing to worry about. He is all better now. Hope you get the same result.
@@alexwolf8019 I’m glad it’s fairly normal. After the infection cleared up with mine he hasn’t done it since. He does snore a bit when he is sleeping still but I think he’s just super tired when he does that. Mine was coughing every few minutes or so and for a good 20-30 seconds when he was sick. It worried me because I felt like he wasn’t getting enough air the way he was coughing. He had a general anaesthetic at the vet and they put a camera into his nose and throat and found some infection which they cleared up and gave me antibiotics to give him. He has been totally fine ever since.
Excellent video. Great to hear the SA accent that's when I knew I needed to listen. My fiancée is SA and I am Irish, we live here in Ireland and it's very hard to get a vet to listen to you. They will only do what they think. My husky has been coughing for about a year or so on and off. Also when he howls he starts to cough. No vets have been able to help me at all. He got a scope of his throat and it was a little inflamed but no foreign object. He is diabetic and bg is not controlled after 3 years and he does pant a lot anyway so unsure if it's heart failure or cancer or what? It's very frustrating as the vets here seem to be behind other countries. Any further tips or information or even how to approach my vet to get them to explore further would be appreciated.
Hi, Doctor. My 11 year old corgi and lab mix started having problems a few months ago. He started slowing down so I thought he must be getting old. But about 3 weeks ago things started going downhill. He started being lethargic, then a few days later he had muscle spasm around his abdomen and his sides, he lost his apetite, he lost a lot of weight and now he has been coughing. The blood tests came out good and his organs seem to be functioning ok. The only issue was that it seems that he has an infection somewhere in the body. The vet said he does not have kennel cough either. We have an x ray scheduled for next wednesday but I need to call the vet in the morning because he coughed up some blood tonight. His breathing is loud and sounds wet, like a motor boat. I have been crying for 3 weeks straight. I am thinking he may have issues with his heart. Hopefully we will be able to find out from the x ray. I need to see if they can bring it forward to sooner or to ask if there is any cough syrup i can give him to make him feel more comfortable because I can see this cough is not easy to live with… what are your thoughts on this? If any
@@JimboRoberts77 I am sorry to say that we had to put him to sleep on 5th Sept. The doctors said that one of his lungs was half filled with fluid and blood. They couldn’t see what caused it but said that it was most likely a tumour. So cancer. They did not give us hopes that he could get better. The following 2 days he went downhill and had trouble breathing. We chose to end his life instead of waiting for him to die a horrible death. I really hope your dog gets better soon and your news will be good ones 🤞🏻
@@gretageanina7811 so sorry for you. I hope the fact that you were working to get an answer gives you some comfort. We had to put down one of our dogs only five days after learning she was gravely ill (kidney). I like to think having a pet put to sleep gives the pet a peaceful exit and saves them from unnecessary pain and suffering.
I have a Japanese Chin that’s been coughing for 8 months now and it’s like non stop, chest scan is normal , throat scan is normal , no vomiting no weight loss, she is very happy , I have tried almost 10 diffrent medications and non of them is working , the only thing that’s reduces the cough like only 10% is the anxeity medication , any thought or idea would be much appreciated as my husband and I are taking turns to sleep at this point , like we all are absolutly miserable with this situation
I have a 12 year old Chinese Shar-Pei, pitbull mix that has a hack. I’m a poor man without enough money for tests on myself let alone my dog. What should I do and be ready to be charged trying to go to the vet? A simple suggestion would be very helpful!
Have you done anything? Is still coughing? I have a 12 year old Pitt and he has been coughing for 6 months vet gave him kennel cough meds. Didn't work then gave other end of spectrum of antibiotics and that did not work. They did a heart worm test neg x ray on lungs look great heart is perfect and throat looks fine. I got meds for lung worms and other parasites wich I continue to give because it is flee tick heartworm and other worm preventer but he is still hacking 2000$ later and acts like the same dog just wit a cough now. Wish I knew what to do too!
Our Aussiedoodle has a chronic lung issue. She will have coughing events when she hacks out globs of clear mucus for about an hour. We spent thousands of dollars with numerous vets seeking answers and treatments, other than antibiotics and strong steroids. We were finally offered a solution that has seems to work. Now Sophie gets a sniff of asthma inhaler every 12 hours. It is a targeted tiny dose of steroid rather than a systemic dose of prednisone. It seems to be working and her nervousness has been reduced as well as her appetite. She has an emergency inhaler that is a bronchial dial at or, but we have not needed to use it yet.
@@BetsyModglinL from Amazon, we bought the AeroDawg The Original Canine Aerosol Chamber Inhaler Spacer for Medium & Large Dogs with Exclusive Flow-VU Indicator. It’s about $62. The human inhaler fits into one end, and the flexible nose cone fits over the dog’s nose. I place my hand over the nose cone and shoot the inhaler before placing it on Sophie’s nose. The inhaler “firing” startled her the first time. But now she just sits there and I wait for her to breathe in about seven or eight times. I give her a little treat afterwards and lots of praise too. Now I just tell her “Time for your sniffer!” And she comes running to me.
My 8 year old collie mix has been coughing for several months. She doesn't go to see her vet for 2 more weeks. I'm anxiously researching and listening to coughs and afraid hers is caused from heart condition.
Hey Brittany. Your vet will be able to tell if it is a heart condition by listening for a heart murmur. Given his age it could be a possibility, but it will be best for the vet to rule out the other causes as well so that the dog can be started on the appropriate treatment. :)
My dogs cough just started this morning when we got up at 8:30 and it's now 3:40 and the cough won't stop I have never heard her cough so much normally she coughs one time and she is ok well the coughing is still going on and it's got me worried I always run to the vets ALOT because things scare me I never want to loose her :-(
My dog has a dry cough every few hours or so he’s had it for many years and it Has not really gotten worse the vet said it could be allergies or trachea collapse but he’s not really sure he also sneezes sometimes when he coughs but I notice he mainly coughs when he is resting
My dog pulls really bad on the leash so I assumed she’s just choking herself, but she does do it and it sounds like she’s hacking for a few seconds. It’s not all the time but she makes a weird cough once in awhile. Is that normal? It’s not often enough to catch at the vet or get on video so I feel stuck here
Hey Rosie. That could cause strain on the trachea that can result in friction and irritation resulting in the cough. Rather switch to a body harness to distribute the weight more towards the chest instead of the neck. Hope it helps :)
My moms dog went to the pound and hasn't been the same. Coughing wheezing shaking as if he was traumatized in there. 😢 How long does it take before you see signs of kennel cough?
how can i differentiate what is causing the cough. was told my dog had heart disease and after a year of being on meds she did not get better, got second opinion told she has zero heart disease symptoms n that it is collapse trachea . Its a very wet gagging type cough and sometimes throws up white fluid at the end of a spell. She was put on steroids for a few weeks which did lessen the cough however it came right back after the steroids were done. She has zero heat /exercise tolerance . Had every test done available and all came back normal so the vet cannot figure it out so it seems im on my own , any suggestions?
My chihuahua of 11 years has a heart murmur and has recently developed a worse cough than usual (always had one) and we’ve been advised that her heart is pressing against her trachea resulting in difficulty swallowing. So, she coughs a lot when drinking. Can anything be done?
My 4-month old puppy coughed just once so I figured it wasn't s big deal. But she had a drop of blood on her paw so I'm scared. I'm not sure if the blood came from her teeth or if it was there before she coughed. I think she's fine but I don't wanna be careless. I'm worried.
Hi I have a bulldog that is coughing and fainting while he coughs , he is on Antibiotics had xrays which showed infection around the stem s of the lung branches. Had blood are good and heart seems fine . But the fainting is scary .
More info for Tucker ^ He is 14. He's always eaten w/me (steamed veggies & chicken or swaii) He still wants to play 24/7 (tug a war and fetching, wears me out!) But the episodes are getting more frequently 3-4 daily. The coughing is random. In between playing. Walking or just lying.
Hello doc. It's been 2 days that my dog is coughing like he's trying to throw up.At first I thought because she ate something again because she likes to chew everything but this time, she's coughing like that constantly. I can't take her to the vet cause we are under semi lockdown.
I've taken my dog to the vet 3 times for her cough which started 5 months ago. She sometimes coughs up mucus. Otherwise, she eats and her energy is normal. They prescribed antibiotics twice and steroid treatment. Nothing is working. They did an X-ray and still can't find the source. So upsetting. It's super loud and she has a coughing fit once every 30 minutes.
My dog was bit by a rattlesnake a couple weeks ago and had to stay overnight at the vet. About a week later he started with Kenneth cough symptoms. Now it’s a horrible loud coughing and gagging sound over and over all day. I’m assuming kennel cough and not as a result of a rattlesnake bite complications? He just started kennel cough meds today
Dr I need help my 2 yr old is coughing continuously especially during the night I can't even sleep can you please help me. The cough stars when it wants to bark
@@dugguthedoggydon same my dog was coughing and he stopped coughing and then it was like 6:12 am he woke up coughing I didn’t know what do when I go near him to pet him he’s like crying a bit.
I have an 11 year old yellow lab. She started coughing and gagging the last 2 weeks. Only happens when she is running or active. She eats fine snd drinks fine. But strange… she covers her food that is uneaten with leaves or pine needles Coughing sounds painful. I do not have money for her to have surgery or intense therapy. What are my alternatives?
There's a street dog beside my house, it coughs like daily at around midnight. This has been happening for around 5-6 days. The sound seems too painful. What do you think it could be and what should I do.
My dog has been coughing at night and it keeps me up for two years. He had a heart test which he passed and the and the doctor can’t seem to find anything else. When he’s coughing you can tell he’s trying to get some thing out from deep in his lungs and then he clears his throat as if he’s gotten a little bit out. Could be a nasal drip? He’s very old he’s 13 but still this is me going on for three years.
My 4 months old puppy got kennel cough after kennel cough live vaccine. He is coughing for 14 days now its exhausting... I went to vet twice, they gave him codeine syrup and metacam but I dont see any improvements. Except coughing he seems healthy: eating, drinking, playful. The worst are evenings and nights. I dont know how can I help him?
Hi Pete, I took my baby to the vet for a cough that’s kind of like a huffing followed by a gag and sometimes when he does it hard he just about faints. The vet said his heart was strong and healthy and gave him some pills for it but it didn’t seem to work.. the fainting part is the part that scares me what should I do?
HI Pete, I have a toy chihuahua the same thing as Gus 8811 is describing but my vet kept giving me different meds and my pet still have the same caugh I even bought him a kennel cough med from Amazon and nothing can you please answer me.
My dog dry coughs around 10 times when she gets excited Like When I come home she does it until she gags, and then it seems to stop. Recently, she just seemed to have a full-on panic attack like she couldn't breathe and was struggling to get enough air through the nose. It wasnt reverse sneezing. I'm worried, and we don't have any funds for the vet right now. Any ideas? She's a pomeranian it sounds like possible trachea collapse. Could it just be panic attacks?
Is there any treatment u can advise to used for the coughing not every body gave a vet in ther village or area also not every one have money to pay a vet and then u gave to buy treatment
Hi Doc, my 11 months old Maltipoo is on day 10 recovering from spay surgery. Her incisions seem healing well, but today when she was playing chasing her favorite ball in the house (no jumping just mostly running for the ball), she was making noise and then coughing.. seeing her like that, I stopped her running after the ball. She settled down after that but the cough what sounds like dry cough and sometimes gagging continued. Is this normal??? Im very worried. Now she's finally asleep now..pls advise..thanks.
@@bobsaggot7121 hi, sorry for the late reply. It was a one time episode only, thank God!. She's recovered really well not making anymore of those sounds or coughs. I hope ur dog has recovered well too.
My dog got hit by a motorcycle on Friday his private part was sticking out it did go back in this morning scratches between there and in between his legs he has been coughing barely eating he is able to walk
My puppy suddenly started to retching with goose noise when he is excited , sleeping , barking what shall I do but before starting to retch he ate unknowingly some pieces of thread.
The vets they always say surgery so they can make money, they are so expensive and their medication too, you can buy medication at. Chewy less expensive or good rx very less expensive just ask your vet for the prescription
Why do you then even bother asking your vet for a prescription if you don't want to make use of their services? Vets only recommend what is best for your pets, and medical care is expensive for both humans and animals. So it is your responsibility to plan ahead and to be financially prepared to look after your pets, instead of complaining about expensive vet bills.

My Precious Little Female Chihuahua developed a Dry Hacking Cough with a Gag at the end. We took her to the Vet. He said it was Allergies. Gave her an Injection of Steroids. A week later she was Dead!?
Wow so sorry to hear , I took my dog to vet for excessive licking , her skin very raw , vet told us that it was allergies so he gave my dog allergy shot , 2 days later she has been constantly coughing, gagging & vomiting a white foam , I took her back to the vet & I questioned the shot he gave her but doc said it’s just coincidence & that she could have a collapse trachea & gave me some cough medicine . It’s now been 5 days & it’s getting worse as well As I have been giving her the cough medicine 2x per day .
I can't even pay attention to any of his words because I'm so distracted by that accent. I hear mostly Indian, sometimes a little South African, and at times maybe some other middle eastern accent. What the heck?!
Can anyone help me out? I’ve taken my beagle to two different vets and they did X-rays and also blood work but everything came back normal but he’s been coughing that is followed by gagging and he doesn’t let me sleep at night (not that that’s my main concern) but I know he’s uncomfortable as well and the vet also put him on medication but nothing seems to work

Thank you Linda. Glad it was helpful! :)
Hi, I have a 3 month old chihuahua that recently started reverse sneezing and he also has a dry cough that happens about 3 times a day, it's not a loud cough. He does not cough while running or when he gets excited, it usually happens when he is sleeping or sitting.
Hey Karla. Young dogs that are in contact with other dogs are very susceptible to Kennel cough which is basically like an upper airway infection. It could potentially also be something like tracheal collapse, so I would advise to take him to a vet to be properly examined.
Karla did you ever get a diagnosis? This sounds EXACTLY like why my 3mnth old Chihuahua has at the moment and I'm so worried 😟
@@AdornmentFreakdid you? Having this happen with a 3 month old yorkie
My dog Wicked is coughing right now. It’s a very soft huff noise occasionally followed by a gag. He’s vaccinated against kennel cough, and takes heartworm medicine. He’s a 4 year old Cairn Terrier. He only does it in the evening for a few hours, and has recently started snoring. I’m hoping it’s just really bad allergies. We’re calling our vet tomorrow.
Hey Eris. It is good that he's vaccinated and taking his heartworm medication, as that already rules out two possible causes. Your vet will know best what the cause may be after doing a clinical examination, but based off of the symptoms you described and the type of breed, there is a chance that he might have tracheal collapse, which can be fairly easily managed medically. :)
Dogtor Pete Thank you! 😊
Dogtor Pete Here’s the update on Wicked! We just got the call back from his vet, and he does have a very mild case of bronchitis. He’s been put on antibiotics, and should get better soon! Thank you for everything Dogtor Pete! :)
@@pipperminty hello how is your dog doing now? My dog also has bronchitis but the medicine they gave us doesn’t seem to help his cough one bit :/
@@ninakara585 Wicked is doing really well! The medicine helped him, but if it seems like it’s not helping your dog I think it’d be a good idea to call your vet and let them know just in case. Our vet told us that exercise would also help clear out his lungs, and that also seemed to work (just a bit of play, if he gets too winded you should stop). Again I’d just do a little check in with your vet over the phone just to make sure things are going smoothly.
My dog is constantly coughing like he’s choking and trying to cough out something, it started when he ran away for 2 days and it rained for that 2 days then we found him in a pound (even possibly he could get a virus or sort there (poor ventilation) When we got home back that happened he’s an old dog maybe 10 years minimum I found out my dad gave him a little Idk a teaspoon or less of night quill (which is VERY TOXIC to dogs my dog is a small chihuahua) I told my dad to stop and he did but I don't think he's going to take him to the vet because of how expensive it is. I just don't know what to do I hope my dog survives though. 😕
Thank you for your video
Very helpful video...thank you
please dive into kennel cough diagnosis and symptoms
@Dogtor Pete
My 3 year old Beagle has just started coughing usually for 20-30 seconds once or twice a day. Vet said he has reverse cough and gave anti-inflammatory. Got him home and now the last few days he also sounds like he is snoring softly when he is asleep and grunting softly like a pig when sniffing around. Sleeping a lot. But being a Beagle he is never going to be refusing food.
What was the outcome for this? My beagle is having this problem now.
@@laurenpitts1449 Hey took him back to the vet in the end and he had some slight infection in his nose so it was nothing to worry about. He is all better now. Hope you get the same result.
@@alexwolf8019 I’m glad it’s fairly normal. After the infection cleared up with mine he hasn’t done it since. He does snore a bit when he is sleeping still but I think he’s just super tired when he does that. Mine was coughing every few minutes or so and for a good 20-30 seconds when he was sick. It worried me because I felt like he wasn’t getting enough air the way he was coughing. He had a general anaesthetic at the vet and they put a camera into his nose and throat and found some infection which they cleared up and gave me antibiotics to give him. He has been totally fine ever since.
My Puggle has same symptoms, I thought it was kennel cough but booked to see vet in a couple of days
@@JimboRoberts77 good luck! I hope it works out well!
Excellent video. Great to hear the SA accent that's when I knew I needed to listen. My fiancée is SA and I am Irish, we live here in Ireland and it's very hard to get a vet to listen to you. They will only do what they think. My husky has been coughing for about a year or so on and off. Also when he howls he starts to cough. No vets have been able to help me at all. He got a scope of his throat and it was a little inflamed but no foreign object. He is diabetic and bg is not controlled after 3 years and he does pant a lot anyway so unsure if it's heart failure or cancer or what? It's very frustrating as the vets here seem to be behind other countries. Any further tips or information or even how to approach my vet to get them to explore further would be appreciated.
Hi, Doctor. My 11 year old corgi and lab mix started having problems a few months ago. He started slowing down so I thought he must be getting old. But about 3 weeks ago things started going downhill. He started being lethargic, then a few days later he had muscle spasm around his abdomen and his sides, he lost his apetite, he lost a lot of weight and now he has been coughing. The blood tests came out good and his organs seem to be functioning ok. The only issue was that it seems that he has an infection somewhere in the body. The vet said he does not have kennel cough either. We have an x ray scheduled for next wednesday but I need to call the vet in the morning because he coughed up some blood tonight. His breathing is loud and sounds wet, like a motor boat. I have been crying for 3 weeks straight. I am thinking he may have issues with his heart. Hopefully we will be able to find out from the x ray. I need to see if they can bring it forward to sooner or to ask if there is any cough syrup i can give him to make him feel more comfortable because I can see this cough is not easy to live with… what are your thoughts on this? If any
Hey Greta I hope your Dog is better, my 3 year old Puggle is showing the same symptoms you describe. We have an appointment with the vet in 2 days
@@JimboRoberts77 I am sorry to say that we had to put him to sleep on 5th Sept. The doctors said that one of his lungs was half filled with fluid and blood. They couldn’t see what caused it but said that it was most likely a tumour. So cancer. They did not give us hopes that he could get better. The following 2 days he went downhill and had trouble breathing. We chose to end his life instead of waiting for him to die a horrible death.
I really hope your dog gets better soon and your news will be good ones 🤞🏻
@@gretageanina7811 so sorry to read that. I’m sure you gave him a good life and did what was best X
@@gretageanina7811 so sorry for you. I hope the fact that you were working to get an answer gives you some comfort. We had to put down one of our dogs only five days after learning she was gravely ill (kidney). I like to think having a pet put to sleep gives the pet a peaceful exit and saves them from unnecessary pain and suffering.
I have a Japanese Chin that’s been coughing for 8 months now and it’s like non stop, chest scan is normal , throat scan is normal , no vomiting no weight loss, she is very happy , I have tried almost 10 diffrent medications and non of them is working , the only thing that’s reduces the cough like only 10% is the anxeity medication , any thought or idea would be much appreciated as my husband and I are taking turns to sleep at this point , like we all are absolutly miserable with this situation
I have a 12 year old Chinese Shar-Pei, pitbull mix that has a hack. I’m a poor man without enough money for tests on myself let alone my dog. What should I do and be ready to be charged trying to go to the vet? A simple suggestion would be very helpful!
Have you done anything? Is still coughing? I have a 12 year old Pitt and he has been coughing for 6 months vet gave him kennel cough meds. Didn't work then gave other end of spectrum of antibiotics and that did not work. They did a heart worm test neg x ray on lungs look great heart is perfect and throat looks fine. I got meds for lung worms and other parasites wich I continue to give because it is flee tick heartworm and other worm preventer but he is still hacking 2000$ later and acts like the same dog just wit a cough now. Wish I knew what to do too!
@@marksimmermon5046 Wow! Heesuz! My LabPitt mix coughs after drinking or eating only. I didn't hear the video doc mention that cough.
Our Aussiedoodle has a chronic lung issue. She will have coughing events when she hacks out globs of clear mucus for about an hour. We spent thousands of dollars with numerous vets seeking answers and treatments, other than antibiotics and strong steroids. We were finally offered a solution that has seems to work. Now Sophie gets a sniff of asthma inhaler every 12 hours. It is a targeted tiny dose of steroid rather than a systemic dose of prednisone. It seems to be working and her nervousness has been reduced as well as her appetite. She has an emergency inhaler that is a bronchial dial at or, but we have not needed to use it yet.
How do you administrate this. My Aussie Doodle has the same
@@BetsyModglinL from Amazon, we bought the AeroDawg The Original Canine Aerosol Chamber Inhaler Spacer for Medium & Large Dogs with Exclusive Flow-VU Indicator. It’s about $62. The human inhaler fits into one end, and the flexible nose cone fits over the dog’s nose. I place my hand over the nose cone and shoot the inhaler before placing it on Sophie’s nose. The inhaler “firing” startled her the first time. But now she just sits there and I wait for her to breathe in about seven or eight times. I give her a little treat afterwards and lots of praise too. Now I just tell her “Time for your sniffer!” And she comes running to me.
Very informative
Hey Sheila. Thank you. I'm glad you found it to be helpful. :)

Hi, would you like to know 2 home remedies that will help treat your coughing dog or puppy?
Really helpfull
My 8 year old collie mix has been coughing for several months. She doesn't go to see her vet for 2 more weeks. I'm anxiously researching and listening to coughs and afraid hers is caused from heart condition.
Hey Brittany. Your vet will be able to tell if it is a heart condition by listening for a heart murmur. Given his age it could be a possibility, but it will be best for the vet to rule out the other causes as well so that the dog can be started on the appropriate treatment. :)
@@DogtorPete thank you. Her appt got moved up to Thursday.
My dogs cough just started this morning when we got up at 8:30 and it's now 3:40 and the cough won't stop I have never heard her cough so much normally she coughs one time and she is ok well the coughing is still going on and it's got me worried I always run to the vets ALOT because things scare me I never want to loose her :-(
i took my dog to the humane society for a check up,now she got this cough,she never had it in her 2 years of life until after this place
Thank you sooooo much sir!!! And I love your accent, it sounds South African...Hello from Texas🥰😘
Thank U!
My dog has a dry cough every few hours or so he’s had it for many years and it Has not really gotten worse the vet said it could be allergies or trachea collapse but he’s not really sure he also sneezes sometimes when he coughs but I notice he mainly coughs when he is resting
Hey Wagwan. What breed is your dog and how old is he?
@@DogtorPete he is a jack Russell and he is 14
@@DogtorPete ???
Is coughing possible due to fish bone stuck in neck track ? Our dog cough like he is trying to through something out .
i have the same with my dog (irish terier) nobody knows wtf
Yes
Well he dont reply so helpless
My dog pulls really bad on the leash so I assumed she’s just choking herself, but she does do it and it sounds like she’s hacking for a few seconds. It’s not all the time but she makes a weird cough once in awhile. Is that normal? It’s not often enough to catch at the vet or get on video so I feel stuck here
Hey Rosie. That could cause strain on the trachea that can result in friction and irritation resulting in the cough. Rather switch to a body harness to distribute the weight more towards the chest instead of the neck. Hope it helps :)
@@DogtorPete thank you so much! I will switch her ASAP!
Hello good morning dr
My moms dog went to the pound and hasn't been the same. Coughing wheezing shaking as if he was traumatized in there. 😢 How long does it take before you see signs of kennel cough?
how can i differentiate what is causing the cough. was told my dog had heart disease and after a year of being on meds she did not get better, got second opinion told she has zero heart disease symptoms n that it is collapse trachea . Its a very wet gagging type cough and sometimes throws up white fluid at the end of a spell. She was put on steroids for a few weeks which did lessen the cough however it came right back after the steroids were done. She has zero heat /exercise tolerance . Had every test done available and all came back normal so the vet cannot figure it out so it seems im on my own , any suggestions?
I will love to talk to you i have a problem with my dogs
Thanks!
My chihuahua of 11 years has a heart murmur and has recently developed a worse cough than usual (always had one) and we’ve been advised that her heart is pressing against her trachea resulting in difficulty swallowing. So, she coughs a lot when drinking. Can anything be done?
My 4-month old puppy coughed just once so I figured it wasn't s big deal. But she had a drop of blood on her paw so I'm scared. I'm not sure if the blood came from her teeth or if it was there before she coughed. I think she's fine but I don't wanna be careless. I'm worried.
My dog just came home from kennel. He is making a choking sound but he has also ripped open a stuffed animal I'm worried about that has well.
Hi I have a bulldog that is coughing and fainting while he coughs , he is on Antibiotics had xrays which showed infection around the stem s of the lung branches. Had blood are good and heart seems fine . But the fainting is scary .
Thanks man
You're welcome Chris!
My chihuahua has coughing along with episodes of staggering and falling. Can you give an idea of what might be the the cause?
More info for Tucker ^ He is 14. He's always eaten w/me (steamed veggies & chicken or swaii) He still wants to play 24/7 (tug a war and fetching, wears me out!) But the episodes are getting more frequently 3-4 daily. The coughing is random. In between playing. Walking or just lying.
Hello doc. It's been 2 days that my dog is coughing like he's trying to throw up.At first I thought because she ate something again because she likes to chew everything but this time, she's coughing like that constantly. I can't take her to the vet cause we are under semi lockdown.
Any chance it could be kennel cough?
Did you get her to the vet? If so, what was the outcome? Hope she’s ok!
I've taken my dog to the vet 3 times for her cough which started 5 months ago. She sometimes coughs up mucus. Otherwise, she eats and her energy is normal. They prescribed antibiotics twice and steroid treatment. Nothing is working. They did an X-ray and still can't find the source. So upsetting. It's super loud and she has a coughing fit once every 30 minutes.
My dog was bit by a rattlesnake a couple weeks ago and had to stay overnight at the vet. About a week later he started with Kenneth cough symptoms. Now it’s a horrible loud coughing and gagging sound over and over all day. I’m assuming kennel cough and not as a result of a rattlesnake bite complications? He just started kennel cough meds today
How did he go ? My dog was bit by a snake recovered but keeps coughing
Dr I need help my 2 yr old is coughing continuously especially during the night I can't even sleep can you please help me. The cough stars when it wants to bark
Hi please give me update, i have same problem
It probably means that your dog developed a disease called Tracheal Collapse
@@kimmitykim9347 stop giving diagnosis online without knowing . So irresponsible
@@dugguthedoggydon same my dog was coughing and he stopped coughing and then it was like 6:12 am he woke up coughing I didn’t know what do when I go near him to pet him he’s like crying a bit.
I have an 11 year old yellow lab. She started coughing and gagging the last 2 weeks. Only happens when she is running or active. She eats fine snd drinks fine. But strange… she covers her food that is uneaten with leaves or pine needles Coughing sounds painful.
I do not have money for her to have surgery or intense therapy. What are my alternatives?
Coughing of dogs mimicing by the vet is not too helpful
There's a street dog beside my house, it coughs like daily at around midnight. This has been happening for around 5-6 days. The sound seems too painful. What do you think it could be and what should I do.
Call your local animal shelter not animal control they should pick them up
use Doxycycline and omnicortil tablets
I made it to #8 and my anxiety is all over the place
My dog has been coughing at night and it keeps me up for two years. He had a heart test which he passed and the and the doctor can’t seem to find anything else. When he’s coughing you can tell he’s trying to get some thing out from deep in his lungs and then he clears his throat as if he’s gotten a little bit out. Could be a nasal drip? He’s very old he’s 13 but still this is me going on for three years.
My 4 months old puppy got kennel cough after kennel cough live vaccine. He is coughing for 14 days now its exhausting... I went to vet twice, they gave him codeine syrup and metacam but I dont see any improvements. Except coughing he seems healthy: eating, drinking, playful. The worst are evenings and nights. I dont know how can I help him?
Hi Pete, I took my baby to the vet for a cough that’s kind of like a huffing followed by a gag and sometimes when he does it hard he just about faints. The vet said his heart was strong and healthy and gave him some pills for it but it didn’t seem to work.. the fainting part is the part that scares me what should I do?
HI Pete, I have a toy chihuahua the same thing as Gus 8811 is describing but my vet kept giving me different meds and my pet still have the same caugh I even bought him a kennel cough med from Amazon and nothing can you please answer me.
He might have heart failure
Hey pete! Came across ur comment here and realized That my chihuahua is having the same issues, any advice or insight you can share?
My dog dry coughs around 10 times when she gets excited Like When I come home she does it until she gags, and then it seems to stop. Recently, she just seemed to have a full-on panic attack like she couldn't breathe and was struggling to get enough air through the nose. It wasnt reverse sneezing. I'm worried, and we don't have any funds for the vet right now. Any ideas? She's a pomeranian it sounds like possible trachea collapse. Could it just be panic attacks?
Could very well be tracheal collapse and you would need an XR hopefully she’s doing better now
My puppy only gag and cough when I due training with him and it's tiny soft treats I give him

Hi Doc, my 11 months old Maltipoo is on day 10 recovering from spay surgery. Her incisions seem healing well, but today when she was playing chasing her favorite ball in the house (no jumping just mostly running for the ball), she was making noise and then coughing.. seeing her like that, I stopped her running after the ball. She settled down after that but the cough what sounds like dry cough and sometimes gagging continued. Is this normal??? Im very worried. Now she's finally asleep now..pls advise..thanks.

Cough when drink whater only ? Why :( she love to run fast after bike no Cough there only wather
When my dog runs he coughs a lot
my girl is only coughing when laying down and at night
The vets they always say surgery so they can make money, they are so expensive and their medication too, you can buy medication at. Chewy less expensive or good rx very less expensive just ask your vet for the prescription
Why do you then even bother asking your vet for a prescription if you don't want to make use of their services? Vets only recommend what is best for your pets, and medical care is expensive for both humans and animals. So it is your responsibility to plan ahead and to be financially prepared to look after your pets, instead of complaining about expensive vet bills.
Please save my family dog. He is coughing, My Veg.Doc have given me medicine.
I think my dog has all of these 😢
