That may be why she isn't getting it (if that's what this is).
The other thing though is that you said it happens upon exercise and/or at night - so, that could be reverse sneezing, a narrowed trachea, a soft palate irregularity...or collapsed trachea (but not sure it sounds like the last one based on what you've said).
When it happens at night, was she snoring beforehand? If yes, it could be a soft palate issue... |
She was given her bordetella 5/03 and i picked her up 7/7. I visited her for 2 weeks prior to taking her home but never heard anything besides the sniffles every once in a while. Apparently she didnt start coughing until that night she came home with me =/ My other dog is 2 and she has been vaccinated against it, if vaccination is bordetella...and she has also been treated with baytril (a super strong KC med) because she couldnt get rid of it.. The baby acts up every night and it is a daily thing =/ I'm just so sad seeing her like this. its not the narrowed trachea either, we took xrays and everything looks good. the soft palate issue could be..I'll have to look more into that..
