Common Questions and Answers about Dog throat problems vet
throat
My dog always has really disgusting bad breathe from her throat problems, always wanting to eat grass to soothe her throat and when throat gets really bad, she throws up alot. My vet suggested she may have stomach acid reflux and is now about to start her on the medication. I really hope they find out what is causing all these throat infections because it must be soooo horrible for the dogs.
Hi, I have a Pekingese dog, He is 10 years old and does this once in awhile... it's like a choking thing...I usually rub his throat (softly) from the front to the back till he stops..not too long...a few rubs...it's like he looses breath and can't catch it...does this sound like what is happening to your pup? The Vet told me because he doesn't have a longer nose, he breathes that way at times?? As long as it doesn't happen alot, he told me not to worry...
normal inoculations but not kennel cough. coughs several times and then seems to have to dig into his throat for a final clearing cough although nothing is produced. Has no heart problems. is running around on his walks like a 2 year old. Does not cough as much when out walking. My vet seemed to think it was nothing and he has suffered from little warts, one of which had to be taken off in an operation. Found nothing in his throat then. lives inside and is looked after.
She may have broken something in her spine and the nerve signal isn't able to get to her legs. It's imperative that you get your dog to a vet TODAY. The longer you wait, the less likely she'll ever have the use of her legs.
A dog who can't feel its legs or feet stands to get very ill. They get cuts in the numb parts of their bodies that get infected. It's not a pretty death.
Please don't wait any longer and find a vet.
Vaseline isn't the best bet for this area. It's not water soluble and can trap bacteria underneath it.
Expressing impacted anal glands is kind of like popping a zit. It's going to be irritated for a few days, and of course, the dog is going to lick any irritated area. I've found Dermachlor Flush Plus (available from the vet) to be a great antiseptic and antifungal rinse that also prevents most dogs from licking an injury.
That way if I need to give her a IV at home when the Vet is not in I can. I think it when very will. My dog just set they and let me do it. But I hoping if we can get the buns down then thing may work out ok. She is eating home cook meals and drinking water fine. She has been keeping the food down for 6 days. We are starting her on fish oil and to other supports. Aventi Kp and Aventi KS. I talked to the vet today and he said it will not heard. thanks jr.
MAKE -- I agree with all the above advice, take your dog to a vet!!! He will be able to look in her throat and feel of her neck and do bloodwork, and will be able to rule out her throat or thyroid having a problem. If you will do a search in this section for "dog cough," or words to that effect, you'll find a lot of people have dogs who wretch and cough, so sad.
You aren't over-reacting!! Your dog needs a vet NOW. It sounds like an allergic reaction and the facial swelling can smother her to death. If you have plain benadryl (diphenhydramine with no decongestant) try pushing that down her throat. You'll have to get it past where the tongue presses up against the roof of the mouth and stroke her throat to help her swallow. The dosage is 1mg per pound of the dog's body weight.
Another consideration would be some kind of seizure activity. To help your vet help your dog, keep records of these episodes and be as detailed as you possibly can as to time of day, activity, diet changes, location, etc. Whether seizures or allergies, you just might be able to nail down the trigger with excellent record keeping.
Like you, we took her to the vet because she had lost 3-4 lbs, which is a lot for a puppy or an adult dog. The vet suggested that she might be bored with her food so we bought "animal gravy" to put on her food and began getting different types of food from the vet so the puppy (who is now a dog) would eat. It wasn't until her "Big Sister", an older Akita, began eating out of the husky's dish that she actually began to eat.
A visit to the vet is definitely in order. She could have tonsillitis. People don't realize it, but dogs (and cats, too) do have tonsils and they can get infected, just like in people. She could also have tracheobronchitis (kennel cough). The only way to tell for sure is to take her to the vet.
RECENTLY I TOOK MY DOG TO VET TEETH CLEANING. AFTER THE CLEANING THE VET MY HAD A GROWTH IN THE BACK OF THE HIS MOUTH. I TOLD I HAD NOTICE HAVING PROBLEM CHEWING AND SALLOWING AND THAT HE HAD SNORT OR SNORE WHILE I WALKED HIM AND THAT THIS SLIMEY EXCRETION THAT WOULD DRIP FROM HIS MOUTH. HE TOLD ME I PROBABLY NEEDED A VET SURGEON TO LOOK AT HIM. I WORRIED CRAZY ABOUT THIS. HE GAVE THE NAME SURGEON RUSSELLVILLE. AR.
CAN PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY COULD BE?
That's a tough case since you're dealing with a senior dog. I would think surgery is called for, but there are always worries about anesthesia in a dog that old. While your own vet may be uncomfortable with doing surgery, he's right in trying more palliative measures first. If this growth keeps getting larger, ask your vet for a referral to a specialist. There are plenty of universities with veterinary programs that provide outstanding specialized care - for a price of course.
Again I would call your vet asap or if she seems really lathargic, dry mouth, gets pale gums, and kindda a sunken-in look in the face I might consider taking her to an ER vet to replace fluids right away and then maybe your vet can find out whats causing the problems. Good luck and I hope your pup is feeling better soon.
