1. Environmental factors

(1) From a warm air environment to a cold air environment, fine particles such as smoke and dust irritate the respiratory tract, pungent smells (such as ammonia, pepper smoke, etc.), chronic disease-causing air environments (such as the smell of paint in new homes), etc., All can cause dogs to cough. If it is a short-term environmental factor, generally there will be no continuous and long-term cough. When it is strongly stimulated, it will be accompanied by runny nose and tears. It will get better and disappear after being removed from the harmful environment.

(2) If the dog lives in a harmful environment for a long time (such as an environment with excessive formaldehyde), it may suffer from long-term continuous dry cough. At this time, the respiratory tract and lungs may have lesions, and you need to find a veterinarian. If the dog is exposed to relatively strong respiratory tract irritation, such as strong ammonia gas, it may burn the respiratory tract. This situation will cause inflammation. You cannot just transfer the environment, but also need to find a veterinarian for specialized treatment.

2. Dogs eat some irritating food

Dogs sometimes eat bones and fish bones to grind their teeth, or bite some prickly objects. Foreign objects may get stuck in the throat or pierce the gums. The dog will take the initiative to cough on its own, hoping to cough out the thorns. In this case, the dog often coughs, scratches its mouth with its paws, and barks short and sharp from time to time, which is easy to judge. Dogs generally don't get stuck on thorns and can eventually resolve them on their own. If the dog cannot solve the problem on his own, he must ask a veterinarian to remove the thorn to prevent inflammation of the thorn site. For dogs to grind their teeth, you can choose some pet snacks and jerky products, such as chicken jerky and duck jerky, which are rich in protein and can also be used for teeth grinding and calcium supplements

3. Caused by poisoning

Poisoning by certain poisons, such as inhaling some toxic gases or eating some toxic foods (such as chocolate, etc.), can also cause dogs to cough. In this case, the cough is short and gentle, often accompanied by vomiting and foaming. The foaming is not sticky. As long as there is no muscle weakness or lack of energy, you usually give some glucose oral liquid or mung bean soup. If the mental decline continues, this is needed. Seek medical attention immediately

IV. Caused by inflammation

Respiratory inflammation, pneumonia, gastroenteritis and other diseases can also cause dogs to cough. The cough caused by this disease is often a long-term continuous cough. In some cases, it is a sharp dry cough, sticky substances in the eyes and nose, diarrhea and vomiting, relatively sticky vomit, dull coat color, lethargy, and loss of appetite. In this case, seek veterinary treatment as soon as possible. There are two common types of inflammation:

(1) Canine infectious tracheobronchitis

When summer and autumn change, the temperature changes greatly, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. At this time, dogs are particularly likely to cause many canine diseases.Infectious diseases, including kennel cough, also enter a period of high incidence at this time. Kennel cough, also known as canine infectious tracheobronchitis, is a canine infectious respiratory disease caused by a variety of pathogens and can affect dogs of any age. As long as one dog has this symptom, other dogs that come into contact with it will also have this symptom. The course of the disease is more than a week, and in a few cases it can last for several months. Most dogs can gradually recover as their body's resistance improves, but a few dogs will develop bronchopneumonia due to lack of timely treatment.

In the early stage of the disease, the dog's symptoms include dry cough, and occasional vomiting or nausea after coughing, but the spirit and appetite are normal, generally there is no fever, and there are no symptoms such as nasal discharge. Within a few days, his symptoms included painful cough, elevated body temperature, loss of appetite, and purulent nasal discharge.

Solutions:

The treatment of kennel cough requires treating both the symptoms and the root causes. On the one hand, symptoms such as coughing must be controlled, and on the other hand, the pathogens must be killed. It should be noted that because kennel cough is often induced by a variety of pathogenic bacteria, it is difficult for general drugs to reach this site, and most antibiotics cannot have an immediate therapeutic effect. Some dog owners use large doses of antibiotics for this reason. However, this approach is very unscientific. High doses of antibiotics for a long time will destroy the immune barrier of the dog's body and create opportunities for virus invasion.

In the early stage, if this situation is found, the dog can be fed some antiviral oral liquid, such as Shuanghuanglian oral liquid plus Shedan Chuanbei liquid, etc., and then injected with dexamethasone. Also pay attention to keeping your dog warm from the cold. In addition, don’t forget to disinfect your home regularly to give your dog a clean environment

(2)Chronic bronchitis

If your dog coughs for a long time, it usually means he has chronic bronchitis. Dogs show symptoms of prolonged onset, persistent dry cough, and frequent coughing when the temperature is low in the morning and evening or due to food irritation. If your dog is sick and medicine is ineffective, you can use some antibiotics (cephaladine is more effective). If you want to relieve a cough, you can dissolve a piece of codeine in a bottle of Jizhizhi syrup, shake it well and give the dog half to a tablespoon, which has a good antitussive effect. Take it when you have a severe cough.

If conditions permit, 250 mg of kanamycin or 50 mg of gentamicin can be dissolved in 3 ml of normal saline for aerosol treatment, twice a day for three days. This treatment is only available in pet hospitals. This aerosol treatment is also very effective. You can usually take a little Nian Ji'an syrup. Pay attention to keeping your dog warm and not getting cold

But if the dog owner feels that his nose is very hot, he may be sick or have a cold and should seek medical treatment in time. If its nose sprays water from time to time, it's a cold and you need to see a doctor.

5. Early stage of rabies attack

Some dogs may also cough in the early stages of rabies attacks.cough. In this case, the dog will tuck its tail, run around, be afraid of water, bark, foam, and look strangely. Since there is no effective treatment for rabies at this stage, once such a situation occurs and a rabid dog is confirmed, it must be culled immediately to prevent the spread of rabies.

6. Dogs getting angry

Dogs sometimes get angry easily, which can also lead to coughing. In this case, there is a dry cough, often with discharge from the corners of the eyes, more bloodshot eyes, dry stools, and no other obvious symptoms. In this case, you should pay more attention to your daily diet and try not to feed foods with a large amount of oil and high salt content. In terms of dog food, you can choose some low-salt and low-oil natural dog food for your dog. In addition, in winter, many dogs do not Willing to drink water (this is a misunderstanding that needs to be corrected. It is not that the water is always there, so the dog will not be short of water, but that it is called drinking water when it wants to drink it). This lack of water can also cause internal heat, so you should try to guide your dog to drink as much water as possible in winter. If he doesn’t drink water, you can add water to your dog, or you can make some mung bean soup for your dog to drink, which can also reduce internal heat.
