What causes a dog to hack?
One of the most common reasons for a dog cough is a disease of the heart valves or heart muscle; this prevents a dog's heart from pumping blood efficiently. Coughing results when parts of the heart enlarge and compress the major airways in the lungs, or when fluid backs up into the lungs.
Why is my dog coughing like something is stuck?
If your dog is hacking away or constantly making noises that make it sound like they are choking on something, they may have a case of kennel cough, or canine infectious tracheobronchitis.
What causes dogs to hack and cough?
Some of the most common causes of coughing in dogs are heart disease, chronic bronchitis, heartworm disease, and respiratory infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Beyond the usual suspects lurks other, less common culprits that may be behind your canine companion's hacking.
Is a dog cough serious?
An occasional cough may be normal dog behavior and is not a cause for concern. Repetitive coughing, on the other hand, could be a sign of a more serious problem, especially if there are changes in breathing sounds or patterns.
How can I soothe my dogs cough?
Honey can be a great home remedy for kennel cough as it can help soothe your dog's throat and minimize coughing. You can give your dog one-half tablespoon to 1 tablespoon of honey mixed with a little warm water in a bowl. This can be offered up to three times a day depending on how often your dog is coughing.
When should I be concerned about my dogs cough?
You should be able to tell your vet a few things about your dog's cough, including if it sounds dry or wet, when it began and how often it is occurring, if there is any accompanying discharge being hacked up (blood or mucus), and if it happens more when he eats or during the night.
