I heard it three times last night, we have pulled her into our room for the time being she used to sleep in a crate in her own room but i am so freaked out. My husband and i bearly slept, just listened to her breath all night. It sounds like a dry hack, i heard it a few days ago for the first time and now it is prob about 5to 6 times a day mostly while she is laying down. Shee seems fine, still eating/drinking, making, and playing just this darn cough that scares the **** out of me. I am a wreck, i am going to the grocery store this a.m. and my neighbor is coming over to watch her that is how freaked out i am. Does it get better? DO they live long happy lives? Do i need to check her breathing every few minutes bc i find myself doing that? I wish it would go away, i know that sounds nieve but i want her to be all better, she is just a baby. Hasn't even lost her teeth yet. Thank you, really thank you to everyone for your advice. I am going to try the tricks to distract her when she coughs. |
I think it sounds like kennel cough. Chai got kennel cough at 5 months from a vet visit. I worried it was a trachea problem but the cough went away in about 6 weeks. She doesn't do it anymore. She also did it at night and morning when it forst started and then it became an all day thing for a week or so and then went away. he vet did put her on anantibiotic, but, some do and some don't. I don't know if the antibiotic helped or not but it eventually went away.
Did the vet hear the noise? I couldn't get Chai to do the cough until her second visit. If you can videotape of audiotape record it that might help the diagnosis.
Just some thoughts.
