How to deal with dog cough and retching:

1. Keep warm and relieve cough. Be sure to keep your dog warm and use cough suppressants and some anti-inflammatory drugs to control coughing. If not treated in time, severe cases of bronchitis and pneumonia can occur.

2. Remove foreign objects. Dogs will instinctively vomit foreign objects by coughing. If they are not expelled in time, they need to open their mouths to help them take them out. If the foreign body is stuck in the esophagus, throat and gastrointestinal tract, this situation needs to be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.

3. Antiviral treatment. If it is caused by a viral infection, such as canine fever virus and puppy litter, this will cause respiratory problems and cough. The virus is extremely infectious and requires not only symptomatic treatment, but also antiviral treatment.

Causes of dogs coughing and retching:

1. Viral factors. Mainly influenza virus, adenovirus, etc., threaten the health of dogs and induce upper respiratory tract infections in dogs.

2. Bacterial factors. Mainly due to Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli, Mycoplasma infection, etc.

3. Secondary infection factors. That is, after an upper respiratory tract infection or lung infection, inflammation begins to spread and secondary infection occurs. When the temperature suddenly drops, dogs will suddenly develop symptoms such as coughing and runny nose after being attacked by the cold, and the disease will become obvious.
