What causes a dog to suddenly cough and sneeze after jumping?

Cough can be caused by an infection, heart problem or lung condition, it is important to first know the cause before treating it as treatment is different from condition to another. The most common disease causing cough is a viral infection called Kennel cough, this disease usually resolves without treatment within a couple weeks but if the cough is too severe it is recommended to go to the vet in order to get cough medicine and antibiotics.

Poor Julian! Dogs can get respiratory illnesses and allergies, both of which can cause sneezing, coughing, and discharge like you've seen. In the case of infections, the discharge may become cloudy or yellow/green, whereas allergies tend to stay clear. In either case, since this has been ongoing a few days, it's a good idea to bring Julian into your vet. They can provide allergy medications or other treatments as needed depending on the cause. If you notice him worsening, the discharge changing color, fever, or changes in behavior or appetite, that's a sign that he needs to be seen sooner. Until then, keeping his eyes and nose clear with a clean washcloth can help keep him comfortable and prevent any debris from getting stuck and crusting his nostrils or eyes shut. Keeping him eating and drinking and in an area free of dust and dander can also help.

Excessive sneezing like this could be a sign of foreign material in the nasal cavity (sometimes a piece of fluff or plant material can get stuck), or potentially a nasal polyp, tumor or infection. If this extreme sneezing continues I'd recommend having your vet examine Pilsner - they might recommend sedation for a nasal flush and exam.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Pilot. He may have an upper respiratory tract infection based on the symptoms you have described. Affected dogs will typically have a gagging cough that may or may not bring up a white foamy material. They can sneeze and have eye or nose discharge. Some dogs are lethargic and will not eat as much. If his symptoms persist until tomorrow, he will need to see his veterinarian. If he is refusing to eat or drink, then I would have him seen today. In the meantime, keep him home and away from other dogs as he may be contagious. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Nutmeg. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. Coughing and sneezing are common signs of an upper respiratory tract infection. If so, she may need an antibiotic or cough medication. I hope this information helps!

Poor Jet! If you have been creating a large amount of dust and debris in your decorating, it is possible that Jet is experiencing some airway irritation. However, if he has been exposed to any dogs (on walks, dog parks, groomer, etc.) over the past week, there is also a chance that he has contracted kennel cough or canine influenza. If the cough continues or worsens, he should see his vet.

Your puppy may have an upper respiratory tract infection which can be common in young puppies because their immune systems aren't fully developed. He may need some antibiotics and/or antihistamines to help stop the sneezing. The other cause of sneezing could be from a foreign body, like a piece of grass, that has become stuck in hos nose. If this is the case the sneezing will not resolve until it is removed. I would recommend taking Roscoe to the vet to be checked out so he can be treated appropriately. I hope this helps. Best of luck!
