Leo's health
Posted on 2008/09/26 by Brian FranksLeo is gagging with a slight gurggle but producing no vomit. He is also panting heavily. It has been going on for 5 days but is getting worse. Do you have any ideas of what it could be? And what treatment would you suggest?

Is he ok??
Posted on 2008/09/20 by UserHi, we just got our dog from a shelter. He is one year old, and has kennel cough. He goes pee very often (about every 15 or 20mins) and his heart rate is beating pretty fast. Is this something we should be concerned about? He is on doxycycline for the kennel cough.

Not Eating, Weight Loss, Drooling
Posted on 2008/09/14 by UserMy cat is 5-6yrs. old, we just moved across country and she was doing fine, but the past two and a half weeks she suddenly stopped eating and hasn't eaten anything and two days ago she started dry-heaving and drooling...? I plan on taking her to a vet this week, but just thought i'd try this too since it's the weekend...

bronchitis
Posted on 2008/09/12 by UserCoco is a rescue I have adopted. Before I got her, she was diagnosed with Bronchitis, and was given Zeniquin. The antibiotics were done as of September 2, but she still has a bad coughing fit about 3 to 4 times a day that can go on for 10 minutes or so. I can't take her to the same vet, as she was transported across province to me, so am looking for advice. Have tried an expectorant cough syrop to clear out the congestion, am wondering if I should switch to cough suppressant, or whether she needs more antibiotics. She is eating well, and drinking, but when she exerts herself, she brings on coughing fit, but does play a bit each day. Seems to have no breathing problems ...

Older Dog with a Nasty Cough
Posted on 2008/09/06 by Jackie NelsonHi, my dog has a hacking cough that started last night. The cough is coming from deep in his body, and he keeps almost coughing something up. A friend said he might have a hair ball and that I could administer the same hair ball treatment that you would give to a cat. Is this true? Does this sound like the issue with my dog? He is fine when he is not coughing; he plays and wants to walk; he is eating and drinking, although he may be drinking a bit more than usual. He has not vomited, although it appears as though he is trying to cough something up.

Cough
Posted on 2008/08/27 by Kenneth BarronPrince has developed a cough. He coughs until he gags, but never throws up. He seems healthy otherwise and bodily functions are normal. Sometimes he coughs when he eats or when he gets excited. What could this be?

I have an 18 month old Pitbull, we adopted her about 3 months ago and found out she had kennel cough, they said it would go away and it didnt, we took her back and they gave her a bordatella shot to boost her immune system and some cough pills! they did help but now she has started gaging and had come mucus out of her nose when she does sneeze and some morning she has white discharge around her eyes! She is as energetic as ever and eats and drinks well, except for her potty training shes great!, Could It be alergies, can i give her anything or what could it be?and what should i do?

Cough and sneezing from getting wet in yard.
Posted on 2008/08/25 by Shelley CorretteLast week, we had the tropical storm here in FL. My yard turned into a lake in some areas, and when we let the dogs out to go potty, they dove into the water to play like kids! 3 days later, my pom now coughs and sneezes. It's the end of the month and there's no money for a vet. Can I give him cough syrup or amoxcillian made for people? Will Benadryl help? Furby is 4 yrs old and about 12lbs. Thanks,

Weight loss and swollen legs and ocassional cough
Posted on 2008/08/25 by M.E. LangleyAbby appears to have lost weight in the last 2 or 3 weeks, yet her front legs appear to have swollen. Her eyes also have had lots of yucky matter that I wipe out once or twice a day. She cough ocassionally, but not excessively. The vet recommended switching from Beneful because of my other dog licking a lot, he thought it might be a reaction to the colors in it. They had been on half and half of beneful and iams rice and lamb for the last couple of weeks. I've gone back to just beneful, because Beau didn't noticably change his behaviour, and Abby was losing so much weight.

Help, I think something is wrong
Posted on 2008/06/21 by Peter LeeMy Beagle won't eat his food today and keeps falling asleep on the couch. He seems extremely lethargic. We ran around with him yesterday, he ate well, etc. But today he's a different dog. What could cause something so sudden? I'm worried.

Still having problems with Daisy
Posted on 2008/06/14 by Erin ColvinOur 2.5 yr old beagle mix Daisy snorts and does hacking coughs occasionally. But sometimes, she'll go into a licking frenzy, snort (not reverse sneezing), swallow, and spit up white mucus. During this frenzy she will eat any fuzz or anything else on the floor (something she doesn't normally do). It's almost like she's trying to clear her nose of mucus and swallow it. If I put her in her crate she will lick the floor of it or the sides. If I hold her she'll try and lick/eat my hair or just lick the air. These episodes can go on for hours, sometimes ALL night long, switching from her constantly licking to hacking coughing (like she's got something in her throat). We have d ...

Could this be allergys & how do I fix it?
Posted on 2008/05/31 by Emily ClarkMy new puppy (5 months old)came to us with more flea's than puppy. So my husband and I put a flea medication on his back, I used the Hartz brand for his size. Now my puppy has bumps all over his back, the fleas seem to be gone bot his entire back is covered in smaller than a pea sized bumps. Do you think this is an allergic reaction. Is there anything at home I could do to help them go away. Please help he looks so bad. Thank you

Quick and bizarre death
Posted on 2008/05/30 by Richards TracyMy 15 month old miniature piebald dachsund recently died. We let him out before bed with our labrador to go to the bathroom. When I went to let back in, he didn't come. We found him out in back yard heaving. Brought him in and he was having a hard time breathing but kept trying to vomit and had a little diarrhea. My husband stayed up until 3:00am, to make sure he was going to be o'kay and he wagged his tail and seemed to be doing much better. I found him at 6:00 am and he was dead. What could have happened? He never had a big appetite and would do this hacking cough everynow and then. A couple of times, while growing up, I noticed he would heave and seemed to have ...

Please help!
Posted on 2008/05/27 by UserMy 3 year old black lab has had excessive drooling, swollen eyes, not able to chew his food, change in bark,not breathing well, and he has been hacking for about 2 weeks. I took him to the vet last week and they said he had kennel cough and gave him antibiotics and cough supressants. It seems like his symptoms are getting worse, could it be something else?
