And spitting up a wee bit.
I called the vet and we're in at 3 tomorrow, can't get in before.
Could it be heart failure, trachea issues, stress because we are moving, stress from the new puppy?
I don't know.
I feel so badly for her.
Background, she's 14 years old with thyroid issues, on metacam for pain and meds to help her tummy issues.
Any thoughts, ideas?
Maybe a reaction to dust if there's a lot stirred up by the move? Poor Sasha, hope it's nothing serious!
It seems after one last round of coughing she is finished. I sure hope so. It's been 1/2 an hour without a cough. She's napping now and her breathing sounds way better.
Spoke too soon, another round of coughing, but just coughing no spit up.
Does it sound like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx7tveHyFqk
Kennel cough was going around Vancouver recently.. I wonder if it's going around Calgary too? All three of my dogs got it. I believe Kai was the only one who threw up (clear mucus). It sounds horrid but goes away on its own after a week or two.
I just got an email from my agility group saying kennel cough is really making the rounds in Calgary right now. It could be that.
Thankfully I have Sasha vaccinated for Kennel Cough. The vet says that she has a sore throat and old lungs. The sore throat is likely from it being so dry and dusty here and the fact that she's 14. He gave us a cough suppressant. She should be fine. Thank goodness.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments.
Oh oh, poor Sasha - I'm sorry, I would help gladly if I could, but I have never had this happen to me before. I'm sorry - I hope she gets better VERY soon!!Quote:
