Our pets usually scare us quite a bit. They are one more member of the family and any problem no matter how small worries us. One of these problems and one of the most common in our dogs, sudden and recurrent cough he looks like he has no air, as if he is suffocating.
This is very common in dogs so you should first determine if this is occasional or constant and of course go to the vet.
If you have noticed that your dog gets tired easily and chokes, he may have respiratory or heart problems. As veterinarian Ángel González, who lives in Zamora, tells us, “it could be due to several diseases. laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, including brachycephalic syndrome. In all these cases, it is best to go to a trusted veterinarian so that the pet can receive appropriate treatment.
Motifs? There may be several: “it can suffer from something trivial, well-known, as in flat-nosed or small breed dogs. reverse cough because of the physiognomy of their noses, or even lung parasites or pneumonia,” adds González.
One of the most common coughs canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis, that is, the common cold that we humans have. The so-called “kennel cough” is a dry and persistent cough, a disease that affects your airways. In these cases, it is best to rest and avoid a lot of walking, especially during the winter months.
Dog sneezing is also very common. He usually stretches his legs and starts coughing. “This is because they breathe in air instead of expelling it. This is something that happens very often to them when they are very excited or happy, or because of changes in temperature,” explains Ángel González.
Persistent cough can also be caused by one reason. malnutrition By eating foods that are not well digested by your body. The best thing to do in these cases is to change the diet to a balanced diet for race and age.
Dogs may get a cough for a while. heat stroke at times of high temperature. The best thing to do in these situations is to drink the water slowly and then rest.
Another of the most common options, but in this case due to punctual cough choking on an object or food. The Heimlich maneuver in dogs is an excellent technique for expelling the object, as we’ve been told at Puppy World.
In this case, you should get the dog standing from behind, with his back to your chest and hugging his waist. Then put three or four fingers in the hollow of its belly if the dog is small, or put your fist with the other hand if the dog is large. You need to press the back of the dog’s rib cage and spine about four or five times. Then it’s time to check the mouth and remove the object with your fingers.
