My new puppy is wheezing, gagging, and has a runny nose. What's wrong?

Allergies are not common in a puppy but they can occur. More common would be an infection. I recommend to have him examined by a veterinarian. New pets should generally have an exam soon after they are adopted to test for worms which could spread to humans and have an over all health assessment. I hope this helps.

Congratulations on your new puppy! It sounds like Nashville may have an upper respiratory infection, or kennel cough. You are absolutely correct in being concerned, as this condition can progress down into the lungs and cause pneumonia if not treated. I recommend having her seen by a vet sooner than next week so that she can start the appropriate course of treatment. Your vet may even elect to postpone her shots until she is better to give her immune system to fight the infection properly.

Poor girl. It wounds like she may have an upper respiratory infection (kennel cough). She needs to be seen by your vet for a thorough exam and then placed on a short course of antibiotics to help her recover. I would recommend taking her in as soon as you can, since she is so young and sensitive to illness. I hope that your fur baby Domino feels better soon! Best wishes and take care.

It sounds like an upper respiratory infection. I would recommend having Riggs evaluated by a vet since he is so young. Sometimes these infections can be bacterial and quickly wiped out with antibiotics. Others could develop into coughing or pneumonia.

Hello. It sounds like Bayern has a pretty good upper respiratory infection. The breeder should never have sent him home with you being sick. I would make an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible to have the puppy examined. This is very important, especially for a breed that can normally have issues with breathing. I hope all is well soon. Thanks 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!

It is not normal for dogs to have chronic nasal congestion at a young age. Would be concerned about upper respiratory infection that might need antibiotics. I would recommend taking Him to a veterinarian to make sure his lungs sound clear.
