coughing and choking

[daisybee]

has anybodys dog ever started barking, and
end up choking and coughing. My dog Daisy
has been doing this for about two weeks. She
doesn't seem sick, its just when she barks she
chokes and coughs. She is going to the vet
on Thursday. I hope its not serious, I just lost
a dog in September.

Glad she's going to the vet, I hope it is something treatable! Coughing can be a symptom of so many things!

I think the most common cause behind the dogs behaviour is an irritation of the soft palate and throat that results in a spasm. But before confirming the cause it’s very essential to know some of the facts such as how old is your dog? What breed is your dog? But since you are taking him to vet, he would give best suggestion on examining it.
