 Coughing in the mornings
Just wanted to ask a quick question. I'm making Chester a vet appointment in the morning, but wanted to get your opinion in the meantime. I've done a search through the posts and found some info, but wanted to post more for my specific symptoms.
Okay, Chester is 7 months old and as of Friday night has developed a cough. It sounds sort of like he's congested or has a hairball in his throat that he's trying to remove. He coughs almost exclusively in the morning, but will ocassionally hack one or two times if he's playing hard during the day. He is eating and drinking fine. He was at the vet on Wednesday to get his baby teeth pulled and I took him to Petsmart on Monday (which, if he has kennel cough, this is probably when he got it). Is it possible that the vet somehow damaged his trachea while pulling his teeth? Like maybe he or his assistant grabbed Chester by the throat? Just wondering if this seems like a far-fetched idea or if any of you have experienced something like this.
Like I said, Chester will be going to the vet next week, but I just wanted some feedback from those of you who may have experienced this. |
