My Joey has this goose-like cough so I know what you mean. It happens to him when he gets overly excited and is also thought to be more frequent with season respiratory allergy season. I was shown by a doggie chiropractor how to help little Joey when this happens and it works. If you feel the promonate bones on both sides of his chest at the top of front legs as he sits straight up you will notice a divet or "valley" between them. This is where his trachea is located. When Joey is stretched forward and honking like a goose (which is very stressful to both of us I must say) I gently massage this divet area and it seems to release that trachea and it is corrected. I have also heard that if you live in a cold climate it can help to take him out into the cold to correct it. Good luck. It does sound though like you may have additional problems more extensive than Joey since it involves eating and drinking. |
