Avatar n tn My dog has not been eating for couple of days and she does not seem like she wants to eat and i tried to force her to drink some milk and water and she keeps on gagging and coughing what could be causing that ?
Avatar f tn She is an inside dog and we have a fenced in yard. She is only around our other dog who has no coughing issues at all. Is it possible that my Pug has allergies with all the pollen floating around in the air. We live in the woods in North Carolina.
Avatar m tn Has this happened suddenly? Is his appetite usually good? Have you changed his food? It could be anything, from a simple dislike of his food, to a stomach upset....to something really more serious. Have there been any other symptoms -such as vomiting, diarrhea, coughing or retching, unusual tiredness? Any dog who normally has a good appetite and isn't too faddy with food, will eat. A sudden change in appetite usually means your dog isn't feeling well. He could have some pain somewhere.
Avatar m tn s companion of almost 10-years and since then she has almost stopped eating - especially dog food. She will eat chicken and ham that we are eating, I think it is depression due to missing the other dog.
Avatar n tn He has been on several different antibiotics and steriods. He is still eating as usual and the coughing seems to be worse at night. They are not productive coughs just dry hacking coughs. I am running out of ideas and am desperate for answers.
Avatar m tn She showed improvement while on the medication, but the symptoms returned as soon as the course of medication ended. Eating Diamond dog food naturals lamb and rice formula. She had been on this type of dog food all of her life. -Month 2 – The coughing got a little more violent still, and she produced a white foamy substance with it - was prescribed more antibiotics and a little more strength of steroids. She had a series of x-rays which showed some mucus in lungs, but no signs of pneumonia.
Avatar f tn My tiny four pound Maltese/Poodle cross has been coughing and I was wondering if someone has any ideas. He is about 8 1/2 and has had issues with his behavoir. He won't let us have him groomed without him trying to bite us or get his nails trimmed, so every four months or so we have to have him knocked out to have this done. I wasn't sure if this was some of his problem from the stuff they give him or what, but he does it alot especially at night.
Avatar f tn Has anyone here had their dog go through heartworm treatment before? My husky is on day 5 from getting his HW treatment (immeticide?) We're not suppose to have him move around too much because the decomposing worms may cause an embolism. He's coughing a a hacking cough today and not eating too much. I'm wondering what to expect next.... I hear the coughing may continue for 2 weeks before he's almost in the clear.
Avatar n tn My dog has been coughing every 2-3 hours as if hes trying to loosen something in his throat.Will it pass?Should I take him to the Vet?
Avatar f tn Because my dog interacts with other dogs a lot, when he developed a "cough" I immediately took him to the vet. He had no fever, is eating and drinking normally and his activity level is normal - he doesn't at all act like a sick dog. I have kept him away from other dogs to avoid getting them sick. The vet diagnosed him with kennel cough and put him on Doxycycline 100 mg - he takes 1 1/2 pills twice a day. He started them on Tuesday.He has also had a Bordetella vaccine.
Avatar n tn We had a health dog one day and the next coughing and hacking. His cough sounds dry like a honking goose. Took to vet he said could be kennel cough and put him on doxycycline but also said he heard a heart like murmur. The vet did say that the heart could have sounded like that cause of the dog not feeling well if it was kennel cough and/or being anxious. How did I have a vibrant healthy eating dog one day and a sick one the next. His appetite seems still to be ok.
Avatar m tn well, unless Mom cant afford more medical costs, I would suggest trying for a second opinion from a different vet. TWO, it could be food allergy related. If the dog is eating anything that has corn, soy, or wheat in it..it can be an allergy. Alot of cheaper dog foods have corn and soy. both being exceptionally bad for any dog. same goes for looking at any treats that may be given. elliminate these three ingredients and see what happens. you should be about to tell within a week or so.
Avatar n tn But they should definitely look closely at her trachea. She is likely exhausted from the wheezing and coughing which would affect her appetite. Our dog used to gag a bit at first when she was eating but we started her treatment very quickly so she got better very quickly. I hope you find out soon what it is so your girl can be properly treated and comfortable again. Please post updates to let us know how she is doing.
670955 tn?1226597900 My dog was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure yesterday and he was put on 50mg lasix twice a day as needed. He is 12 years old and weighs 121 lbs. His Vet said we were starting at the lowest dosage. Tonight he is coughing/gagging a lot, which is why I took him to see the Vet. He will eat enough grass for a cow or two if I let him. I have not seen him drinking as much as I thought he would, nor has he been urinating more than normal.
184674 tn?1360860493 When I brought him in for the night, he was coughing and throwing up watery liquid, but no dog food or grass. I also noticed when I fed him at 7:00 that he had thrown up twice recently in the utility room where I keep the dog food, and each watery puddle looked under two hours old, meaning he must've vomited twice between 5 and 6 p.m. He vomited early this morning, around 4 a.m. and this time, it was a brownish color, but still clear.
Avatar n tn One of the things my vet mentioned when my chi started coughing for a few seconds was to make sure the water/food dishes were high enough they did not have to bend down to eat. That has really helped. I will say she gave the one chi a steroid shot....that helped as well. It has worn off and the dishes have continued to her from coughing as much. Just a thought!
Avatar f tn We have a "permanent" foster dog (Boston Terrier) who was dumped and tied to a tree for 3 days. We approximate his age at 10yrs. He had all the tests run and has been diagnosed with Cushings. He's been on medication for the last 5 months. We are babysitting a Boston/Pug and she keeps sniffing him and licking his face and belly. Our vet seems to think there is a possible growth in his belly, but we are waiting to hear back from a Radiologist once she has examined the x-rays.
4121556 tn?1350428560 My dog coughs as though he has something stuck somewhere, I cannot see anything, he eats quite well, Could it be lung worms or could it be a tumour? he often vomits.bile.He is old now, and his back legs are going, should he be put to sleep? euthenasia?
Avatar f tn She took that and it did reduce the coughing. But, she stopped eating on Thurs. Sat. I got up and made her a filet mignon which is her favorite. She won't eat. I took her to the vet again but my usual vet was not there and I saw the other one. This vet said she has acid reflux. He gave her a shot of Ampacillian, Cerenia and Pepcid AC. She totally stopped coughing and also stopped shivering. She was great! I brought her home and she still refuses to eat.
Avatar m tn My 5 year old miniature schnauzer is 5 years old. She has started coughing and is becoming more frequent. It is almost a panting cough? She also has a bad odor. Which has been going on for a month or two.(odor). I have listened to her chest with a stethescope and she is breathing fast and it sounds thick and dry. I thoguht it was maybe just a case of dust because we mulched leaves (oak and pecan) and we didn't have a bag on the mower and it got pretty dusty.
Avatar f tn My 1 year old Chihuahua has been eating a lot of tissue and other stuff off the floor like biting into the hard cover of a pen but not the ink and suddenly now she is coughing like crazy and I am very worried and she is like gagging but nothing is coming out and I need help what do I do?!
Avatar f tn This happens in some dogs when they first wake up, the stomach is empty from not eating all night and there is a buildup of acid. You can try an experiment to see if this is what it is - try feeding your dog a small snack late at night or, if you wake up during the night, give her a cookie or two.
Avatar n tn I live in California and I recently ate something that my dog got into by accident. And my throat started itching like 30 minute after. (it could be from a really salty food) And I started coughing like a day after. Is that Rabies?? My dog doesn't seem to have any symptoms of rabies. She hasn't gotten her shot.
1380814 tn?1285965586 About a month ago my dog was throwing up stomach bile like once or twice a week, then it stopped for a while. I tried to get my mom to take her to the vet but she didn't think it was anything to worry about. Lately she's been puking up nothing, like she dry-heaves and makes a coughing noise as she does it. But she's still her normal-self, hyper and energetic. She vomited today and there was blood in it, even though it was barely noticeable. Is this serious?
Avatar m tn my 2 year old dog is not eating right. he also has blood in his poo.
