Coughing problems in dogs
Coughing is a problem dogs often face. Persistent coughs should not be neglected.
Causes and Symptoms:
There are numerous causes of coughing in dogs. Inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, cardiovascular diseases and allergies are some of the options which could cause this problem.
Sometimes the animal may vomit following a bout of coughing or retching. Dog owners should be careful not to regard retching and the attempt to vomit as gastrointestinal problems always, as it could actually be a form of coughing.
Treatment and Prevention:
The veterinarian can diagnose the cause of coughing by perusing the dog’s history and a physical examination.
