Coughing?

[AceTheBathound]

Ace woke up around 1 am which sounded like he was gagging/trying to cough up a flem. Though height have some grass in his throat. He went back to sleep. Well, he did it again. He does does few times, no flem comes out. Wish I could upload a video from here. Anyone know of what could this be?

Do you have a YouTube acct? Of so upload it there and then post the link here, it could be kennel cough. How often is it happening?

It happened about 5-8 x last night. As of this morning only 1-2 x. He hasn't done it anymore. He's active, he ate, etc. I'll do a you tube video.

It could also be allergies, but I would take him to a vet tomorrow just to be on the safe side. If it is an infection or kennel cough, it's best to get it early.

is there is a discharge from nose and coughing it could be kennel cough - when mine were coughing Benylin sorted it but once they have discharge -they need antibiotics , i would take your baby to the vet just to be sure

He had not coughed since 8am this morning. When he breaths heavily he does discharge a very small amount of clear mucus. He does seem a lil down. He will play shortly, then rest. I'll keep a close eye. I called the vet, of course they told me to bring him in I'm gonna wait a few hours to see if energy levels improve.

i would bring him just in case , not sure if this have anything to do with it - but my friend bully have enlarged soft palette -and he sound "congested" like a wet cough - if this makes any sense before having it fixed xx please keep us updated

He's just a little guy. I would take him in -at least tomorrow to have him checked and his lungs listened to. Much better to be safe than to be sorry.....As it is.When you have skin kids that are sick-it's always worse late in the day-and at night.

Yes that cough sounds like kennel cough, very heavy and sounds like it's coming from the chest, I would get him in today if you can. Kennel cough can progress to pnuemuonia very quickly if it goes to the lungs. Just to be safe.

At the Vets right now. Pending X-ray to rule out pneumonia. Doc states that it may be bacterial, it may be viral and she doesn't wanna risk it not giving antibiotics due to him being 10 weeks old. We will see what the results are. Wish us luck...

I hope the poor little fella' gets the meds. he needs and feels better real soon! Good that you took him to the vet. Lucky you can find one open on Sun.! Please let us know what Dr. says.

Decided on no X-ray. Said hopefully we could see change with clindomycin antibiotic, and if any signs of worsening, we could go for the X-ray. He did eat a little for dinner, which was a plus. He's even drinking water. No fever, which is also a plus.
