Why does my dog keep coughing?
Coughing in dogs is usually caused by inflammation of the respiratory tract or cardiogenic cough. If your dog suddenly coughs violently and keeps licking his lips and making swallowing movements, he most likely has something stuck in his throat. First observe what it has swallowed by mistake, and then send the dog to the hospital for treatment immediately. Do not induce vomiting by yourself. Pay attention to seasonal changes and cold periods, and seek medical attention promptly if your dog is sick.
What to do if your dog’s throat is stuck:
1. First, you need to open its mouth, and secondly, prepare a flashlight and tweezers, and then pinch it After seeing the mouth, use tweezers to pick it out. Pay attention to safety when pinching. In addition, you can also grab the dog's hind legs and stand upside down to shake the dog.
2. Use chopsticks to press the base of the dog's tongue to induce vomiting. Foreign objects are brought out through vomiting.
3. If the foreign body cannot be seen or the foreign body cannot be expelled through emergency measures, it is recommended to send it to the pet hospital immediately and seek veterinary help.
