Why is my dog coughing, sneezing, and vomiting white foam after spay?

I'm sorry to hear Nana isn't feeling well. I would determine if she is vomiting the white foam, or if it is produced after a strong coughing fit. If it is after coughing it can be due to an upper respiratory infection such as kennel cough. If it is secondary to vomiting, then it could be due to a GI upset of some kind. I would recommend she be seen by her regular veterinarian to determine the underlying cause for her issue, have any necessary testing done (X-rays, bloodwork) and get started on any treatment she may need (antibiotics, cough suppressant) to help resolve the issue. Good luck!

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or eventually to a chronic tracheitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective possibly kennel cough). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

I'm wondering if she actually has a productive cough - a cough can sound very similar to attempted vomiting in a dog and they will often retch at the end and produce a small amount of white foam. This would go along with the runny nose that you're seeing. You should see your vet - this could be a sign of an upper respiratory infection, an infection like kennel cough, or even pneumonia. Even if she has not been around other dogs and she is the only one showing symptoms at this point an infection is still possible.

Yes, I would be concerned for Molly. When a pet goes under anesthesia and has a major surgery, it can tax the immune system and leave them vulnerable. Sometimes they can catch kennel cough or another upper respiratory illness. I would recommend taking her back to the veterinarian for a recheck. They can tell you what is going on with Molly and if she needs to be monitored or needs treatment. Thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It sounds as Teyla is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.

It could be a sign of allergic reaction. If your Luna is very itchy and now vomiting or trying to be sick, you should get her seen by your local vets. She may need an antihistamine or anti-inflammatory medication to get back to normal quickly.

Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. With this combination of symptoms, yes - I recommend having Mosley seen by the vet. Sneezing as a sole symptom is not an emergency, and his vocalizing during sleep may have been related to a dream. However, the vomiting multiple times has me more worried, and warrants a vet visit - particularly since it's coming on the heels of his respiratory changes. Hope this helps!
