VerifiedHi this is Dr. Jen. I am sorry to hear that Snowy has been having issues. It is common for the lungs to sound normal even if there is something going on. snowy needs chest X-rays to really get a better sense of what is going on to cause the cough. There is a condition similar to COPD in people that we see in older dogs. The other likely possibility would be some sort of allergic airway disease. Both of these conditions are treatable, but a chest X-ray really is your next step.
You’re very welcome.
