Hi everyone
My 4 year old male, Bailey started coughing and throwing up night before last. We thought that maybe he just had an upset stomache as he seemed fine in the morning. He began doing it again around noon yesterday so we brought him to the vet. He was prescribed maloxican for an irritated throat. We gave him a dose at 4 pm yesterday and he seemed fine. Went to bed well and slept until approximately 4am this morning he started to cough and throw up again. Other than that he has no fever, is eating well, seems to have energy etc. this is why the vet thought that it was just his throat that was irritated possibly by something that he ate? She told us that if it doesn't stop the next step may be to sedate him and see if anything is stuck at the back of his throat.
I am wanting to know if anyone has experienced this with their dog and if there is anything that I can do to help Bailey. I'm worried that he may have something more serious happening. We were told to try the Meds for 4 days but it's hard to see him like this!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
