Wheezing sound to cough?

[Mcleanb7]

My bulldog just started coughing like he does from time to time, but this time it was a wheezing sound and then the hacking cough sound. Not brought on by anything--wasn't eating, drinking, exercising--just sitting and then got up to go outside. No vomit. Breathing normally in between the wheezing coughs. This lasted for about 5-10 minutes and now he is laying down to go to sleep. Any thoughts? I looked at tracheal collapse but it doesn't seem to fit.

Could it be a reverse sneeze?

Maybe he had some phlegm? Frank used to get occasional bouts where all of a sudden he would try to force himself to cough. Sometimes it would end up as wheezing.

[MENTION=13289]Mcleanb7[/MENTION] If there are no other symptoms-fever,not eating,etc. Try giving him a squirt of lemon juice,as far in his mouth as you can. If it is just flegm(sp?), it will help break it up. Good luck, cause if mine see it, they head for the hills! It ain't no easy peasy lemon squeezy 'round here!

Thanks! It hasn't happened after that, but I'll keep it in mind if it happens again!
