Why is my dog hacking and wheezing for days without vomiting?

Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a tracheitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but 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.

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!

Poor Snow. She could have a respiratory infection causing the coughing and she may have coughed so hard she vomited. Given that this has been going on for three days, it's time to see the vet. The vet can diagnose what is causing her cough and can treat her. I'd take her into a vet today. I hope this helps!

Your dog ccould be suffering from allergies, an upper respiratory infection, some foreign body in his airways, even a tumor or a heart condition. Please take Peter to a vet for an exam. The vet will likely want to take radiographs to assess his lungs and heart and airways. Hopefully it is just a minor problem. Kennel cough can last up to 6 weeks.

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. by the way rubbing the throat will not induce coughing, only a firm pressing of the windpipe will in some cases (don't try it at home!)

He could have an upper respiratory infection, lower respiratory infection (pneumonia) or even something stuck in his throat. Since it has been 4 days already I would recommend getting Mocho seen by your vet for a proper exam of his mouth, throat and chest sounds to determine which is likely. If he does have an upper respiratory infection then antibiotics will be recommended to help clear up his infection. I hope Mocho is able to make a full and speedy recovery. best wishes and take care.

This is likely an upper respiratory infection called Kennel Cough, this usually resolves within 2 weeks without treatment, but if the cough is too severe it is recommended to go to the vet in order to get cough medicine and antibiotics.
