    my dog keeps hacking like something is in his throat, and nothing is coming out, is this a sign of heartworm?

    Symptoms: breathing, vomiting, coughing

    Hi, I hope I can help you! Coughing can be a sign of heartworm. Is your pet on Heartworm preventative? is he tested annually? Dry coughing can also be a sign of bordetella and collapsing trachea. Has he been to the boarder? groomer? or dog park recently? do you walk with a leash or harness? What breed of doggie is your pet? Thanks and I hope he gets better!
