Dogs get upper respiratory infections, kennel cough and canine influenza Some are so contagious, they can come in on shoes. I will try to cover every possibility.

It can also be kennel cough, a reverse sneeze, an allergy or swallowed non food item.

Excitation does worsen this condition.

 

Check inside her mouth for a stuck item, sore or any abnormalities. Look under tongue, roof, cheek pouches and between her teeth.

 

If you dont see anything she may have swallowed non food or have a slight upper respiratory infection coming on.

Give her one mg per lb of benedryl every 8 hours.

 

 

Keep her on a very light diet of boiled chicken or cottage cheese for 48 hours. Also give her one teaspoon a day of plain yogurt to keep "good" bacteria in her system.

She should see the vet if she gets worse or developes any breathing difficulties.

I hope I have covered every possibility. Please let know if you still have questions and how your baby is doing, I will always be here for both of you.

I hope she feels better very soon.

Very sincerely,

Terri

Now that you mention it, it does remind me of a reverse sneeze.

 

She has not made one sound since I started this dialog with you.

Hi there,

 

Is she doing this?

If so, its merely a reverse sneeze to try and clear her throat.

 

Make sure to check inside her mouth for any abnormalities.

 

I hope she will be just fine.

 

Warmest best wishes,

 

Terri
