It's winter, I believe that many shit shoveling officers have this experience. Dogs at home will make a coughing sound like a human being, and even retching in severe cases. So today, the editor is going to tell you about the coughing of dogs!!

Coughing and retching are not serious problems. If such problems usually occur, it may be a cold or throat. Caused by stuck foreign objects, it is generally not a problem if handled properly. However, if the symptoms of dry cough and dry retching occur more frequently, then the owner needs to pay more attention, which is likely to be the initial symptoms of kennel cough. Dogs need to pay attention to the phenomenon of coughing and retching, don't take it lightly!

What's the matter with the dog's coughing and retching?

Kennel cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease usually caused by viral or bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract. More common in dogs. However, this does not mean that adult dogs can sit back and relax. Because the disease is highly contagious, even adult dogs may still be infected.

The main symptom of the disease is bronchitis, which occasionally causes a dry cough in dogs and, in severe cases, vomiting. Affected dogs do not have much change in appetite, and some dogs may have problems with decreased appetite, accompanied by an increase in body temperature. The severity of the cough will vary with the amount of exercise the dog is getting and whether it is exposed to external stimuli such as the environment or food.

Because the dog's mental appetite will not be greatly affected in the early stage of the disease, the body temperature is also normal, and there are no related symptoms such as runny nose. There are only mild dry cough and other symptoms, so usually the owner does not pay too much attention to this problem. Even if you pay attention, you may just treat it like a stuck foreign body or a common cold.

As the condition worsens, the dog's throat may experience swelling, coughing, spitting and other related problems. Therefore, when a similar situation occurs in puppies, it can be treated as a common cold at first. If the problem is solved quickly, there will generally be no problem. But if the cure persists, then suspicion should be raised. Of course, it is not only these two situations that cause dogs to cough and vomit. Related problems such as infectious diseases can also cause dogs to have such a situation, so we should also exclude these problems, and then doubt whether it is caused by kennel cough. of.
