Well it's definatly not normal. If it's coughing, a trip to the vet is in order for sure. Could be a collapsed treachea or even kennel cough. The other possibility (what you may have read as "normal") is reverse sneezing. This isn't a "hacking" though, it almost seems more like hyperventilation (it's not though). Alice does the reverse sneezing and so does my Beagle, when Alice does it, it almost sounds like honking lol. If it is indeed COUGHING that your dog is doing though, make a vet appt. If you can't seem to tell if it's maybe reverse sneezing instead, go on Youtube and look it up - I guarantee you can find a video of a dog doing it then you can see if it's that or actual coughing. |
