Hi! My beagle is four years old and about 2 1/2 weeks ago he developed a cough. Kind of a hacking cough. He does not act any differently and eats, drinks, and plays normally and he seems happy with a big cold, wet nose. We have two other dogs besides him and they do not show any sign of a cough or anything wrong. So I have kind of ruled out kennel cough. He coughs about every 5 to 15 minutes, and sometimes he sounds like he's trying to get something up. I have checked his windpipe and do not see or feel anything lodged in it. Also I have tried to massage his throat while he is coughing, but it doesn't help. I do not know if it is something that will go away on it's own like a cold, or should I seek professional help, I was also wondering if I should try to give him some children's cough medicine to see if that works. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
