My beloved Ashley, who had a collapsing trachea, had acid reflux from what we observed. When Ashley was sixteen, my husband suspected her increased coughing could have been caused from this. I talked to my vet after giving her Pepcid for this, and we told him we thought Ashley coughed less when she took it. He had told us to use Pepcid in the past for other stomach ailments, but it wasn't some she used every day. He told us that Pepcid would not harm her. She was on it for approximately a year.
I hope this is the cause of Sammie's cough and that you are able to find ways to control it. |
