What should I do if a dog coughs? When we find that our dog suddenly coughs, there is no need to be too anxious. Let’s first understand what the reason for the dog’s cough is. Because dogs have many reasons for coughing, they may not necessarily get sick. Everyone must analyze rationally and then take certain effective measures.
Dog coughs have the following types of cases:
1. General cough.
Like people, dogs may be frightened or accidentally choked by food, etc., which can cause dogs to cough. This type of cough is usually transient and has no other symptoms, so there is no need to worry at all.
2. Changes in the natural environment cause a dog to cough.
Entering from warm areas to colder areas can cause a dog to cough.
Small smoke and dust can irritate the respiratory system, and the choking smell of the nose will cause the dog to cough. If it is a temporary environmental hazard, coughing is generally not easy to maintain for a long time. Just avoiding the irritation of this natural environment will stop the cough.
3. If the dog lives in a daily life in a harmful natural environment for a long time, it is very likely to have long-term continuous dry cough, and the respiratory system and lungs are likely to become ill. At this time, everyone must find a professional pet doctor to conduct inspection and treatment.
4. Dogs like to chew bones and fish bones. In this case, the throat may be stuck or pierced by dirt. The dog will cough actively and look forward to coughing out the pricks. In this case, dogs usually scratch their lips with their front paws while coughing, but dogs rarely get stuck and can usually deal with it themselves. If the dog is difficult to solve the problem, the owner must immediately seek a pet doctor to help remove the thorn to avoid inflammation in the injured position.
5. Respiratory tract inflammation, lung infection, and gastroenteritis cause coughing to the dog. Coughs caused by this type of disease are usually long-term. In addition, coughing is also very likely to focus on dirt, diarrhea and vomiting, dull back hair, and poor appetite. If this is the case, the cat slave does not need to hesitate and find a pet doctor to confirm the diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
