I'm worried Every time Nikko drinks water, he coughs or sneezes. He has done this ever since we brought him home. I have been reading up on here about collapsing tracheas and I am concerned my baby might have this. He never coughs when he eats, only after he drinks water. He'll cough or sneeze once or twice. My fiance thinks its just because he guzzles the water down greedily and he thinks I am being paranoid. Am I being paranoid or should I be concerned about this? How can i get him tested for this? He never has coughing fits like some of the other threads on here say is a symptom of this. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. |
I have no advice for you but I hope that someone on here does. I hope that you are able to figure out what is going on with him!!! |
Have you contacted your vet? My pup sneezes pretty often but I'm not too worried. I would just make a call and describe the symptoms. |
The next time we go to the vet I am going to have him checked for this. He is perfectly healthy otherwise. He just always coughs after he drinks water. I didn't even know about this condition until I read about it here. |
Samson makes a hacking/honking sort of noise every once in a while after he drinks or if he gets really excited. The vet looked at his breathing and lungs and said he is fine. He said it has something to do with him taking in too much air or something like that. |
I'd check with the breeder and see if he was drinking from a bottle. Mine was, and it was while before she learned to drink from a bowl. She'd sneeze and cough - didn't know how to lap it like she did the bottle. Now she's fine. |
