So let's play Guess the Illness ?? Dog coughs , not all the time...just once in a while. When the dog coughs it sounds as if they are trying to throw up. There is some straining and the huge almost wrenching explusion of what sounds like very phemey air. Another quick one and another.. you alert on the first then get up on the second thinking they either have or are trying very hard to throw up... it get's "wetter" in sound until you think back to the last time you threw up hard and could barely catch your breath while nearly aspirating. For all the noise absoultely zero comes out.
There is no temp, stools are great, no umexpected weight loss and appetite is unchanged. Dog may be a tad lethargic but since it is also a hound it is tough to say. I find myself worried over Megasophagus etc.
Here is the ironic note.... one other dog does this. First dog is nearly 13, second dog is 8.5 years old.
Any Ideas???
