There are several reasons to cause a cough like that. One being the trachea is too soft, the other is kennel cough and the last but most terrible is liver shunt. When I have fosters I had on little guy with a soft trachea and there is nothing that can be done. I also had them with kennel cough and one with liver shunt. If it should happen that it is liver shunt, then they soon start throwing up after a coughing spell, and have to eat just tiny bit of soft food at a time. If let untreated the dog dies. If your baby doesn't stop coughing soon I would have him bile acid tested.
