Open Question: My poodle has a hacking cough.. What could it be?
I have an 11 yr. old female miniature poodle. I took her to the vet after she had had this strange cough for a while. She does a hacking cough that lasts about a minute and at the end of her coughing spell, it sounds as if she is trying to throw up a hair ball, but a few times, I have seen a very bright white foam that tries to come out, but most of the time doesn’t. (It has once or twice.) She does this cough numerous times a day. When I took her to the vet, they took and x-ray and said she didn’t have a collapsed trachea and had a tad bit of an enlarged heart. They then took a look at her teeth (which do have plaque and stuff on them, so they aren’t the cleanest) and they then said the she probably had tracheitis so they gave her antibiotic, but the cough STILL hasn’t gone away. I’m very concerned. My greatest fear is that the vet was wrong and she has something very serious. I’m convinced he was wrong. What could it be? A heart murmur? Some sort of heart disease? I just need some answers! Thanks! (Sorry this was so long, I couldn’t explain it any simpler!) =]
I know what an inward sneeze and I’m 100% sure its not that. My small toy poodle does the inward sneezing, but this totally different than that. She coughs and tries to throw up a bright white very sticky foam.
