HI....Iam worried about my little puppy "Charlie" He is doing this coughing, gagging, and sometimes he sounds like a little pig....like hes snorting or something. I took him to the vet and he put him on an antibiotic for a respiratory infection. He is done with the medicine and it hasn't gotten any better. If anything it is worse....it's waking him up in the middle of the night, like he is gasping for air. Its really scary. I feel so bad for him. Well, then today, he started gagging again and he spit up white stuff...like mucus stuff....Sorry, I know it sounds gross. Then later on through the day he did it again, only this time it was black. I dont know what to do. Anyone have any ideas what it may be? BTW....he is a yorkie-bichon mix.

Thanks for any information :-)
