With Heart Disease, the weak heart cannot pump as well.Fluid builds into the lungs causing the cough.The cough is usually MOIST like they're choking on congestion.Actually, they are.The cough is worse in the mornings & during periods of running, playing & excitement.Fluid will show in an x ray of the lungs.This would normally be for Senior Dogs. Reasons for Coughing: OK, For starters, you need to rule out Heart Problems.The xray will not only show the heart, but also the lungs.This is important. I am worried to death that she is going to just stop breathing. Do you have any ideas as to what could be wrong. Then she will be perfectly normal for hours. It seems like she has something in her throat she is trying to clear and sometimes its even like she is trying to catch her breath. The bark gets interrupted into a honk-like cough. She also had a coughing fit in the middle of the night while she was in the bed with me. I feel so helpless when she does this and it occurs several times throughout the day for no reason.
The second time he put her on an anti-inflammatory and antibiotic combined. He put her on an anti-inflammatory the first time which SEEMED to help somewhat but not entirely. He has listened to her lungs and heart and can't find anything abnormal other than a little clear nasal discharge. I have taken her to her vet twice and had her chest and throat x-rayed. She is not lethargic and her eating habits are normal. They are non-productive although at the end of them sometimes she makes a hack or gag noise almost like she is trying to cough up a hairball. My 6 yr old pug has started having these dry coughing episodes.
