Help! My 8-week-old puppy is wheezing with mucus. What's wrong?

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Coughing, sneezing, along with mucous sounds suspicious of a upper respiratory infection. I would recommend Bubba be seen by his veterinarian as soon as possible. Your veterinarian will do an exam and may recommend x-rays to better evaluate the infection and help determine the cause. Bubba may need to be placed on antibiotics or other medications as needed to help clear the infection. I hope this helps!

Wheezing makes me worried that mom and puppy may both have a respiratory infection. And a cloudy eye is also indicative of a problem, I would recommend a vet visit for mom and pup to get assessed. There are some structural abnormalities in brachiocephalic breeds that can cause upper respiratory stridor, or excessive noise while breathing, however that's typically not noted in a four week old puppy either. Best of luck and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is not likely to help much if at all due to the long nose of a dog. This is likely an upper respiratory infection. This is usually treated with antibiotics. I recommend that you have your pup evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for this possibility and start therapy accordingly. Best of luck!

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, I would recommend you take Luna into see her veterinarian soon. The symptoms she is experiencing such as trying to clear her throat, may actually be a cough. Coughing and wheezing can be indicative of an upper respiratory infection. She may need chest x-rays to confirm an upper respiratory infection and may be placed on antibiotics. I hope this helps and I wish you and Luna the best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly due to an upper respiratory infection. This is something that if confirmed, your veterinarian could prescribe antibiotics. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be due to an upper respiratory infection that could be now affecting the lower respiratory system as well such as kennel cough. It is very important that you have Teddy evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to gather more information and proceed with an exam to determine what would be best at this point. They are likely going to consider prescribing antibiotics. I am hoping for a speedy recovery!

Hello. I am so sorry that Coco is unwell. He really needs to see a veterinarian as this sounds like pneumonia. Hopefully, with antibiotics Coco will be feeling better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
